Abstract

Catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of aqueous solutions of phenol was performed on ruthenium catalysts supported on different oxides: TiO2, ZrO2 and their doped ceria mixtures. Phenol was chosen as a model pollutant molecule because of its wide use in industrial processes. All the samples were found to be highly active for phenol oxidation and the various titania-ceria mixtures were the most efficient for total organic carbon (TOC) removal. ICP analysis of the remaining solution after reaction revealed that ruthenium has not leached. Moreover, elementary analysis of the used catalysts showed that the deposition of carbonaceous species on the surface of the catalysts was rather low and was dependent on the nature of the support.
