Zeolite based ceramics as catalysts for WHPCO of phenol and poly-phenols

In the present work, a Cu-13X zeolite sample was ceramized and used as a catalyst for the wet oxidation of phenol solutions and olive oil mill wastewaters (OOMW). The material showed good catalytic activity for the abatement of phenol and poly-phenols, excellent stability and no leaching of the active species. In this way a real heterogeneously catalyzed reaction was performed. Moreover, the catalyst was reused without special reactivation treatments for different consecutive reaction cycles.
