Abstract;As a major anesthetic, a mixture of nitrous oxide(N2O), oxygen(O2) and isoflurane(CF3CHClOF2H) is used in medical operating rooms. Catalytic decomposition of N2O over alumina-supported rhodium catalyst(Rh/Al2O3) has been investigated to clean the air contaminated with N2O in medical operating rooms. Although N2O decomposition activities over Rh/Al2O3 were significantly decreased by isoflurane, N2O was completely decomposed at higher temperature. The deactivation effect of isoflurane was investigated and a reaction rate equation was proposed. (author abst.)
