Abstract
In this study, the factors affecting commercialization of $Pt/TiO_2$ catalyst, which can oxidize HCHO at room temperature, was investigated. In order to determine the optimum noble metal loading, the catalytic activity was evaluated by varying the Pt loadings; the best catalytic activity was achieved for 1 wt% of Pt. In addition, the catalyst prepared under the reduction condition showed an excellent HCHO oxidation conversion at room temperature. Based on these results, it was confirmed that the activity could be changed by oxidation state of active metal, and in case of Pt, metallic Pt ($Pt^0$) species was more active on HCHO oxidation at room temperature. As a result of evaluating an effect of space velocity to determine the optimum operating condition, it was found that in the lower space velocity, conversion rate of HCHO was increased due to increase of catalyst bed. Catalytic activity was greater in the presence of moisture than in its absence. Through above results, the key factors for commercialization of oxidation catalyst, which was operated at room temperature even without any additional energy source was confirmed.
