Effect of Meso- and Macropore Structures of Pt-Supported Fibrous Silica on the Catalytic Oxidation of Toluene
The catalytic performance of Pt supported on mesoporous fibrous silica (FS) for toluene oxidation was examined. High catalytic activity was maintained after aging at 800 A degrees C by shortening the length of the FS mesopore channels by crushing, while the activity of the non-crushed catalyst was significantly decreased.
