An ozone purification catalyst, and a preparation method therefor and an application thereof are provided. The catalyst coating uses macroporous, high specific surface and CeO.sub.2 and/or La.sub.2O.sub.3 modified Al.sub.2O.sub.3 as the carrier material, and Mn and/or Pd as the active component. The preparation method is to prepare the Al.sub.2O.sub.3-based material by a sol-gel method, and then to load the active components on the carrier material, and to dry, calcinate and solidify to obtain the ozone purification catalyst. The catalysts as prepared shows a fast and efficient purification of ozone. The complete conversion temperature covers a wide range of temperature. The catalyst has excellent texture performance, high specific surface area and large pore volume, which is beneficial to ozone purification when the car is running at high speed. The particle sizes and colors of the catalyst can be modified according to various requirements. According to the actual application, it can be coated on the radiator fins of automobile water tanks, and any place where coating is allowed in public areas such as urban bus stations, stop signs, kiosks, roadside guardrails, or exterior walls of buildings that is in contact with outdoor air.

An active material useful in an oxidative dehydrogenation reactor system has an active phase, a support phase, and an intermediate composite phase. The active phase includes a transition metal oxide such as manganese oxide, which is reversibly oxidizable and/or reducible between oxidized and reduced states. The support phase includes an oxide of a IUPAC Group 2-14 element. The composite phase is a mixed metal oxide of the transition metal and the Group 2-14 element. The active phase can also include a promoter such as Na-W04 and/or a selectivity modifier such as A1 or ceria. Also, a reactor including the active material in a reactor, a method of making the active material, and a method of using the active material in a regenerative reaction process.
