Journal ArticleDOI
Route of the catalytic oxidation of phenol in aqueous phase
TL;DR: In this paper, a reaction pathway of phenol oxidation under intermediate temperature and pressure has been proposed, where the main intermediates detected in the phenol oxidization were ring compounds (hydroquinone, catechol, benzoquinone), which break to yield CO 2 and short chain acids, mainly maleic, formic, acetic and oxalic acids, and also traces of malonic, succinic and fumaric acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of toxicity upon wet catalytic oxidation of phenol.
Aurora Santos,P. Yustos,Asunción Quintanilla,Felix Garcia-Ochoa,Jose A. Casas,Juan J. Rodriguez +5 more
TL;DR: The results of the study show that this catalyst enhances detoxification, in addition to its effect on the oxidation rate, from the interactions among copper leached from the catalyst and catechol, hydroquinone, and p-benzoquinone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of the copper leaching in the wet oxidation of phenol with CuO-based catalysts: Causes and effects
TL;DR: In this article, a three-phase fixed-bed FBR with a commercial catalyst based on copper oxide was used to analyze the variables affecting significantly the copper leaching, and it was found that temperature has almost negligible influence in the range studied (70-160°C).
Journal ArticleDOI
Weakly bound capping agents on gold nanoparticles in catalysis: Surface poison?
Asunción Quintanilla,V.C.L. Butselaar-Orthlieb,C. Kwakernaak,W.G. Sloof,Michiel T. Kreutzer,Freek Kapteijn +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of weakly bound capping agents on the catalytic activity and selectivity of gold nanoparticles was explored in the selective liquid phase oxidation of benzyl alcohol with oxygen and complemented with a detailed XPS analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly efficient application of activated carbon as catalyst for wet peroxide oxidation
TL;DR: In this article, the improved performance of activated carbons in catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of phenol as target compound has been addressed, where a significant coverage of the carbon surface by phenol molecules is the approach attempted to increase the efficiency of hydrogen peroxide and the performance of the oxidation process.
