Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a chlorinated volatile organic compound (CVOC), used in the last years in dry-cleaning applications and as degreasing agent. In this study we report on the catalytic oxidation of gaseous trichloroethylene (TCE), in a fixed bed reactor, performed by using mayenite (Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 ) synthetized by using the ceramic method. Results show that mayenite promoted the total oxidation of TCE to carbon dioxide and chlorine in the temperature range 300–500 °C. The catalyst is stable under the investigated reaction conditions showing high recyclability and could be used for several reaction cycles without any loss of activity and selectivity.

Abstract
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a chlorinated volatile organic compound (CVOC), used in the last years in dry-cleaning applications and as degreasing agent. In this study we report on the catalytic oxidation of gaseous trichloroethylene (TCE), in a fixed bed reactor, performed by using mayenite (Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 ) synthetized by using the ceramic method. Results show that mayenite promoted the total oxidation of TCE to carbon dioxide and chlorine in the temperature range 300–500 °C. The catalyst is stable under the investigated reaction conditions showing high recyclability and could be used for several reaction cycles without any loss of activity and selectivity.
