 abstract={The results of the catalytic oxidation of isopropanol and hexane on Fe2O3/cenosphere (Fe2O3/C) and Ag/Fe2O3/cenosphere (Ag/Fe2O3/C) catalysts in a fluidized bed reactor are presented. The Fe2O3/C catalyst was developed by depositing an Fe2O3 layer on cenospheres by chemical vapor deposition of Fe, followed by oxidation of the Fe layer. The Ag/Fe2O3/C catalyst was obtained by Ag/Fe ion exchange. The catalysts were analyzed by AAS, XRD, and SEM-EDS methods, and the composition of the gaseous products formed during the process was determined using an FTIR analyzer. Catalytic oxidation of isopropanol and hexane was carried out at temperatures ranging from 200 to 450 ◦C. Enrichment of the cenosphere coating with Ag significantly improves the catalytic decomposition of isopropanol. The temperature of allmost full conversion of this pollutant to CO2 in the Ag/Fe2O3/C process is approximately 370 ◦C, while the same decomposition using an Fe2O3/C catalyst requires temperatures higher than 450 ◦C. Analysis of the toxicity of exhaust gases generated during the catalytic conversion of hexane showed that up to 450 ◦C, the gaseous products produced are more toxic than hexane. However, a decrease in the toxicity of the gaseous products during isopropanol conversion was achieved, both for the Fe2O3/C and Ag/Fe2O3/C processes},
