Hydroxyapatite Foam as a Catalyst for Formaldehyde Combustion at Room Temperature

Xu, JingWhite, TimothyLi, PingHe, ChonghengHan, Yi-Fan2015-12-100002-7863http://hdl.handle.net/1885/64257The excellent performance of hydroxyapatite, a novel non-precious metal catalyst, for formaldehyde (HCHO) combustion at room temperature is reported. Temperature-programmed surface reaction results indicated that hydroxyl groups bonded with the channel Ca2+ may be responsible for adsorption/activation of HCHO.Keywords: Excellent performance; Hydroxyl groups; Precious metal catalysts; Room temperature; Temperature-programmed surface reactions; Apatite; Calcium; Combustion; Formaldehyde; Hydroxyapatite; Precious metals; Surface reactions; Catalysts; calcium ion; formaldehHydroxyapatite Foam as a Catalyst for Formaldehyde Combustion at Room Temperature201110.1021/ja10589232016-02-24
