Abstract:Toluene is a common and significant volatile organic compound (VOC). Although it finds extensive application in various industrial processes (chemical manufacturing, paint and adhesive production, and as a solvent), it creates a huge environmental impact when emitted freely into the atmosphere. Two solutions were found to mitigate the emission of this pollutant: the total oxidation to CO 2 and H 2 O and the selective oxidation into benzaldehyde. This review discusses the two main alternatives for tackling this… Show more
