Prospects for the Catalytic Application of Red Mud in CO Oxidation

What is it about?

Advanced development of the catalyst industry requires taking into account current trends in the industrial chemical complex, namely, the use of reagents and technologies in accordance with international environmental law. It is necessary to involve low-waste and non-waste green technologies in enterprises, solving the problem of catalyst utilization, using non-toxic materials as precursors, planning, and implementation of closed technological production cycles. Nowadays, it should be an integral part of production and a present-day challenge in terms of ecological safety. Thus, scientists face a difficult urgent task—in the process of preserving natural resources and improving environmental safety to reduce the cost of catalysts without losing their efficiency. This research considers the principles of neutralization of carbon (II) oxide (CO), based on the usage of metal oxide systems. Moreover, attention is paid to catalysts synthesized on the basis of solid waste from the production of alumina—Red Mud (RM), in terms of improving the environmental situation (the use and neutralization of harmful emissions) and the implementation of resource-saving technologies for the production of efficient catalysts.
