The catalytic combustion of methanol as a model volatile organic compound has been investigated over metallo-phthalocyanine(PC) catalysts in a fixed bed flow reactor system at atmospheric pressure. The catalytic activity was examined with reaction temperature: 200∼350℃, methanol(CH3OH): 2.29∼2.35mole% in air, contact time(W/F):0.62∼3.11 g-cat·hr/g-mol. The order of catalytic activity is summarized as follows: metal free-PC<Zn-PC<Fe-PC<Cu(a)-PC<Co-PC. The pretreated cobalt phthalocyanine catalysts have been characterised by TG/DTA. EA and XRD analysis. The catalytic activity pretreated with air and methanol mixture, 450℃, 1hr was very excellent. Under this pretreatment condition, the change from cobalt phthalocyanine(Co-PC) catalyst to new cobalt metal oxide(Co3O4) was confirmed by EA and XRD analysis. This cobalt metal oxide has high catalytic activity on methanol combustion.
