A functional fixed bed continuous flow catalytic reactor was constructed for conducting experiments on the catalytic destruction of VOCs using cobalt and manganese containing aluminophosphate catalysts (MeAPOs). The reactor was also interfaced to a Gas Chromatograph in order to facilitate on line product analysis. As preliminary catalytic experiments, a cobalt exchanged form of large pore zeolite Y was used as a reference catalyst for the oxidation of methylene chloride (CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}). At 350{degrees}C, the catalyst was effective in partial conversion of this feed stream of VOC to CO{sub 2}. Optimization of reaction conditions are currently underway in order to obtain higher conversion levels. The effect of variations in reaction conditions such as reactant flow rate, reaction temperature and catalyst compositions are currently been investigated. In the next phase of this project, the Co-exchanged Y zeolite will be substituted by the MeAPOs catalysts and the reactivities of the latter will be assessed. The potential of the MeAPOs to function as oxidation catalysts was evaluated in the liquid phase conversion of phenol to hydroquinone and catechol. The percentage conversion and product yield were significant and varied depending on the metal type and content of the molecular sieve framework. Conversion levels were also dependent on molecular sieve pore dimensions as the medium pore MeAPO-11 was more active than the larger pore MeAPO-5 or MeAPO-36
