The utilization of ceria in industrial catalysis
The main applications of cerium dioxide in industrial catalysis are reviewed, with particular attention to the role played by ceria. The main uses of CeO2 are connected to depollution of noxious compounds from gaseous streams originating from industrial productions and from automobiles (de-SOx in FCC processes; treatment of emissions from spark-ignited and diesel engines), although ceria is also a key component of catalyst formulation for the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene. Recent advances in the application of ceria for the removal of organic compound from wastewater through oxidation (catalytic wet oxidation CWO) are also reviewed.
