Abstract:The complete mineralization of acetic acid in a biodegradation process is difficult due to the α-position methyl on the carboxyl group of acetic acid. This study explores the complete oxidation of acetic acid by catalytic ozonation. Metal oxides of MnO2, Co3O4, Fe3O4, and CeO2 loaded on γ-Al2O3 power were used as the catalysts. The experimental results showed that MnO2/γ-Al2O3 catalyst had the best mineralization performance for acetic acid. Typically, the mineralization of acetic acid is as high as 88.4% afte… Show more
