Catalytic combustion of n-hexane was studied over various mixed oxides based on Co-Mn by the redox properties of these materials. The catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation applying an aging time of 24h, from nitrate precursor of Co2+ and Mn2+ with molar Co/Mn ratios corresponded to 5; 2; 1; 0,5 and 0,2. The oxides were characterized by N2 sorption (BET technique), X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The isotherms of N2-sorption were of type IV corresponded to micro-mesoporous material, with the presence of cilindric pores. X-ray analysis revealed the presence of mixed phases corresponding to spinel MnCo2O4 and tetragonal (CoMn)(CoMn)2O4. FTIR spectroscopy showed combined signals in the mixed samples, revealing metallic interaction. TPR analysis showed better reducibility in mixed samples in relation with the simple ones. The ignition curves for Co-Mn samples depicted better activities with the enrichment of Co compound in mixed samples, being the sample Co/Mn=5 the most efficiency, probably attributable to the best surface and the highest reducibility.
