Gases of m-xylene is one of the popurlar toxic pollutants in the exhaust gases, it is emitted into the environment from factories and engines because the fuel in the engine does not burn completely. The best solution in order to remove this toxic gases of m-xylene to protect the environment is transforming them completely into CO2 and H2O by catalysts. Perovskite of LaMnO3 is one of the catalysts that was synthesized and studied the catalytic properties in total oxidation of m-xylene in our previous report. Obtained results showed that the LaMnO3 perovskite has good catalytic characterizations such as large surface area and the amount of α-oxygen adsorbed on the catalyst is large too. So, it exhibits a good catalytic activity in total oxidation of m-xylene at relatively low reaction temperature. In present work, the reaction order and kinetics of this reaction are determined. The obtained results demonstrated that the reaction order value with respect to m-xylene is equal to about 1, to oxygene is proximately equal to 0 and the order of reaction is equal to about 1. Based on reaction order data, it was thought that the pathway of m-xylene oxidation by air oxygen over LaMnO3 may be followed through which the Langmuir - Hinshelwood mechanism.
