Progress in Treatment of Volatile Organic Pollutants
As precursors of ozone and photochemical smog, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) not only cause innumerableenvironmental problems, but also harm human health. Catalytic oxidation is one of the most potential treatment technologies. The development of efficient and stable monolithic catalysts is of great significance to the removal of VOCs.Recently, non-noble metal oxides derived from metal-orga...
