Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) out of grilled foods could be hazardous to humans, which consist of aromatic rings, like benzene and toluene. And Grilled food’s VOCs are also producing unpleasant odor including methyl amine. In this study we are trying to reduce the VOCs by catalytic methods via mesoporous titania(meso-TiOx) film coated honeycomb structure. meso-TiOx has widely studied in field of photocatalysis, which could effectively decompose the aromatic compounds by hydroxy radical of OH*. And the porous structure having high specific area was simply prepared by evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) method. VOCs more react with meso-TiOx. The composition of Meso-TiOx was investigated by Fe-SEM, FT-IR, photoluminescence (PL) and reduction of VOCs were measured with toluene, one of representative VOCs. The bubbled toluene was introduced into reactor, filled with Meso-TiOx coated honeycomb structure. Overall decomposition of toluene gas was monitored by gas-phase FT-IR. Through this study, further catalytic applications of meso-TiOx film will be expanded.
