Popis: LaMO 3 (M=Mn, Fe, Co) perovskites were prepared by calcining the citrate precursors at 800°C for 5 h. PdO 3% /Al 2 O 3 , a largely used combustion catalyst, was also studied for comparison. The catalytic behavior was examined in the hexane total oxidation. The following activity scale was found: LaFeO 3 >LaCoO 3 >LaMnO 3 . >3% PdO/Al 2 O 3 , the three perovskites activating the C H bond cleavage of hexane better than PdO/Al 2 O 3 . At temperature around 250–300°C mobile surface oxygen species are involved in the oxidation process, whereas at T >300°C oxygen mobile species are no more present and so, particularly for LaCoO 3 and PdO/Al 2 O 3 , the activation mechanism becomes more energetic. The activity values were compared with those obtained from the total oxidation of methane.
