The catalytic combustion of carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) by metal oxide catalysts coated on the monolith support was investigated. The prepared catalysts were tested at temperatures between 300 and 800 o C and at varying gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) values with an excess air ratio of 3100%. The catalyst, whose composition was 18% Cr 2 O 3 , 2% Ce 2 O 3 and 80% γ-Al 2 O 3 , was found to almost completely oxidize CCl 4 . The operating conditions proposed are 5702h - 1 for GHSV, 3100% excess air and a temperature slightly higher than 800 o C. The reaction rate expression was found to be independent of oxygen partial pressure but strongly dependent on CCl 4 partial pressure.
