Abstract: Zeolite (NaX, NaX-CeO2) and mixed oxide (Co4MnAl, NiMgMn) catalysts were tested in catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The different kinds of catalysts proved remarkable activity in catalytic oxidation of ethanol and isopropanol respectively. The deepen comparison revealed that basic zeolite NaX-CeO2 is more suitable for oxidation of isopropanol while oxidation of ethanol is faster in a presence of the metal mixed oxides, Co4MnAl and especially NiMgMn. The results of catalytic testing were linked to certain catalysts´ properties. Basicity/acidity and oxygen storage capacity (OSC) appeared to be the crucial parameters for selected tested alcohol oxidation.
