Cu–Mn–Ce ternary mixed oxides, prepared via the citric acid complex method and supported on cordierite, were investigated for their catalytic activity in the oxidation of chlorobenzene. The impact of various reaction conditions, including chlorobenzene concentration, GHSV, water vapor and HCl, was thoroughly investigated to analyze oxidative activity, stability, and anti-poisoning ability. Among the catalysts tested, those with 20 wt% CuMnO

and 10 wt% CeO

, calcined at 450 °C for 4 h with one step, exhibited the highest apparent activity with

< 300 °C in the feed containing 500ppm chlorobenzene at a space velocity of 10,000 h

. Notably, Cu–Mn–Ce–O exhibited a stable and effective catalyst performance for the oxidation of chlorinated aromatics under low water vapor (< 5%) and HCl (2%) concentrations. Further insights into the oxidation process were gained via in-situ FTIR spectroscopy and GC–MS analysis. The exceptional performance of Cu–Mn–Ce–O was attributed to the incorporation of CeO
