Catalytic properties of carbon xerogels for wet oxidation of aniline

Wet air oxidation (WAO) is an old process developed in the middle of the XX century, but still the centre of very active and contemporary research especially in what concerns catalyst development. In ideal conditions soluble hydrocarbons can be oxidized in aqueous solution to carbon dioxide and water. Organic pollutants with heteroatoms are more challenging, because they require harsh condition...

Wet air oxidation of phenol using active carbon as catalyst

Catalytic wet air oxidation is a promising alternative for the treatment of phenolic waste water which cannot be treated in conventional sewage plants. Catalytic wet air oxidation of an aqueous phenol solution was conducted in a ®xed bed reactor operating in trickle ̄ow regime. Either active carbon or a commercial copper oxide supported over -alumina was used as catalyst. The performance of bot...

Copper on Activated Carbon for Catalytic Wet Air Oxidation

Textile industry is an important source of water contamination. Some of the organic contaminants cannot be eliminated by nature in a reasonable period. Heterogeneous catalytic wet air oxidation is one of the most effective methods to purify wastewater with organic contaminants. In this work, catalysts based on copper supported on activated carbon were synthesized. The activated carbons were obt...

Kinetics of the Wet Oxidation of Phenol over an Fe/Activated Carbon Catalyst

Wet oxidation of phenol over an Fe/activated carbon catalyst has been studied in a trickle-bed reactor in the following operational window: inlet C phenol=0.5 and 1 g/L, T=100-127 ◦C, PT=3-8 atm, W=0-4.8 g, QL=0.125-2 mL/min and QO2=91.6 NmL/min. The experiments were carried out in the absence of mass transfer limitations. Oxidation and mineralization reactions of phenol are proven to take plac...
