ABSTRACT
The main outcome of this research was to demonstrate the opportunity to obtain a stable and well-ordered structure of MCM-41 synthesized from fly ash. A series of bimetallic (Cu/Mn) catalysts supported at MCM-41 were prepared via grinding method and investigated in catalytic toluene combustion reaction to show the material's potential application. It was proved, that the Cu/Mn ratio had a crucial effect on the catalytic activity of prepared materials. The best catalytic performance was achieved with sample Cu/Mn(2.5/2.5), for which the temperature of 50% toluene conversion was found to be 300 °C. This value remains in line with the literature reports, for which comparable catalytic activity was attained for 3-fold higher metal loadings. Time-on-stream experiment proved the thermal stability of the investigated catalyst Cu/Mn(2.5/2.5). The obtained results bring a valuable background in the field of fly ash utilization, where fly ash-derived MCM-41 can be considered as efficient and stable support for dispersion of active phase for catalyst preparation.
