The so-prepared new devices were characterized by using adherence tests, elemental and thermal analyses, XRD, N2 physisorption, and SEM-EDS. Incorporation of only 2.6 wt.% of the active phase (Mn2O3 and Mn3O4) to the recycled honeycomb considerably improved the catalytic response, achieving at 250 °C a 60% increase in acetone conversion with respect to the spent autocatalyst. The following procedure is proposed as a simple way to provide the TWC devoid of noble metals a second life in the VOCs’ oxidation field.}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {acetone}, keywords = {manganese}, keywords = {recycling}, keywords = {spent TWC}, keywords = {VOCs’ oxidation}, title = {Valorization of Recycled Honeycombs from Exhausted TWCs by Means of Their Use as a Support of MnOx Catalysts for Acetone Combustion}, doi = {10.3390/catal12121514}, author = {De los Santos, Carolina and Gatica Casas, José Manuel and Castiglioni, Jorge and Vidal Muñoz, Hilario}, }
