(4) The adsorbed toluene over the 10Fe–15Mn/γ-Al2O3
could be oxidized to benzyl alcohol that further oxi-
dized to benzoic acid, and then the benzoic acid was
decomposed into CO2 and H2O.

In this study, the Fe-modifed Al2O3-supported Mn mixed
oxide (Fe–Mn/Al2O3) catalysts are prepared using the wet-
impregnation method. These catalysts are characterized by
means of the XRD, BET, XPS, H2-TPR, and in situ DRIFTS.
Meanwhile, the catalytic activities and its mechanism over
Fe–Mn/γ-Al2O3 catalysts for toluene oxidation are also
investigated. The following conclusions have been drawn:

(1) The 10Fe–15Mn/γ-Al2O3 exhibited 95% of toluene con-
version and 95% of CO2 yield as well as good stability
and higher moisture toleration at 300 °C.

(2) The introduction of Fe into Mn/γ-Al2O3 resulted in
higher surface area, higher amount of Mn4+/Mn3+ and
better low-temperature reducibility, as well as homog-
enous distribution of Mn and Fe.
