air pollutants commonly found in the atmosphere at relatively
high concentrations. Due to this, a need to remove these pollutants
became a necessity. In this study, octahedral molecular sieve
type manganese oxide (K-OMS
2) prepared by hydrothermal method was utilized
to decompose toluene and benzene. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy
(SEM), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET), X-ray absorption near
edge structure (XANES) analysis were used to investigate the crystallinity,
morphology, surface area and oxidation state of K-OMS 2, respectively.
It was confirmed that K-OMS
2 was successfully produced from hydrothermal method.
Central composite design (CCD) was used to investigate the main
and interaction effects of gas hourly space velocity (GHSV)
and reaction temperature on the thermal catalytic oxidation of
benzene and toluene. Both factors were found to have significant
main and interaction effects on toluene oxidation. However, only
the main effects of the factors were significant for benzene.
This result was due to the difference in the stability of the
structures of the two VOCs. The K-OMS 2
obtained has excellent efficiency on toluene and benzene removal.
Toluene was completely decomposed at a temperature as low as 250°C
while benzene decomposition reached around 98% at 292.4°C. Keywords: Benzene; central

toluene ABSTRAK Toluena dan benzena
adalah pencemar udara merbahaya yang biasa ditemui di dalam atmosfera pada kepekatan yang agak tinggi. Oleh kerana ini, keperluan
untuk menyingkirkan
bahan cemar ini
menjadi suatu
keperluan. Dalam kajian ini, oktahedron ayak molekul jenis mangan
oksida (K-OMS 2) disediakan
melalui kaedah
hidroterma digunakan untuk menghuraikan toluena dan benzena.

didapati mendatangkan
kesan utama dan
interaksi yang ketara
pada toluena pengoksidaan.
Walau
bagaimanapun, hanya kesan utama faktor
adalah penting
bagi benzena. Keputusan ini adalah disebabkan
oleh perbezaan
dalam kestabilan struktur kedua-dua VOC.
