COD and AOX abatement in catalytic wet oxidation of halogenated liquid wastes using CeO2-based catalysts

“…This process consists in the oxidation of dissolved or suspended aqueous solution of organic and inorganic substances by means of oxygen, at elevated temperature (450-590 K) and pressure (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15), assuring wet conditions of reaction. Under these conditions organic waste streams too dilute to incinerate and too concentrated for biological treatment can be degraded to simpler, frequently more biodegradable, organic compounds or completely converted to CO 2 and H 2 O [2].…”

“…This process is widely used in treatment of toxic or refractory substances [3] where biological treatments are not applicable, both in pure compound solution and in complex wastewaters [4]. Further, in WO process it is possible to recover energy operating with highly organic contaminated wastewater obtaining self-sustainability of the system [5]. In usual WO applications temperature and pressure range, respectively, from 400 to 590 K and 0.5 to 20 MPa, with most common applications and best efficiencies, in 500-560 K temperature and 3.5-12.8 MPa pressure ranges.…”
