EXAFS and kinetic study of MnOx/γ-alumina in gas phase catalytic oxidation of toluene by ozone

- Bond Valence Model can be used to distinguish oxygen atoms in EXAFS of Mn2O3.
- Toluene partial pressure has inhibitory effect on the rate of toluene oxidation.
- C-H bond cleavage is likely the kinetically relevant step in toluene oxidation.
