Abstract

Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation is a promising method to treat industrial wastewaters containing phenols. The main problem associated with heterogeneous Fenton catalysts comes from the leaching of the active phase when oxidation is carried out at pH near 3, the optimum value for the homogeneous Fenton process. This problem was overcome by modifying the state of iron using isolated iron ions embedded in mesoporous silica and carbon CMK-3. Isolated Fe(3+) ions displayed the highest activity due to their lowest coordinative saturation. This allowed increasing the working pH to 4-5 solving the problem of iron leaching. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 7th European Congress of Chemical Engineering-7 and 19th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering CHISA (Prague, Czech Republic 8/28/2010-9/1/2010).
