Catalytic Performance Figure 1 A shows methane conversion as a function of reaction temperature over the prepared catalysts. The results indicate that catalytic activity was significantly affected by the catalyst composition. According to the light-off temperatures (T 50 ) listed in Table 1 , the introduction of Mn into Co 3 O 4 resulted in a slight improvement in activity, reducing the T 50 from 332 °C for pure Co 3 O 4 to 314 °C for the Co 3 O 4 –Mn x O y catalyst.

Abstract The recent socio-political and climate changes have sparked tremendous interest in developing effective CO2 capture processes. Conventional post-combustion CO2 capture (PCCC) processes employ aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) as a solvent; however, one of the major problems in the PCCC columns is the loss of a significant amount of the solvent in the form of particulate matter (PM). In spite of its importance, the formation of PM in a PCCC column has been overlooked, until recently.
