Abstract(s)
In catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO),an advanced oxidation process, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is decomposed catalytically giving rise to hydroxyl radicals (HO•).These radicals, exhibiting high oxidizing potential, serve as effective and non selective species for the
degradation of several organic pollutants in liquid phase.
Since the report of Lücking et al. [1], carbon materials have been explored as catalysts for CWPO[2]. Recent reports address process intensification issues, broadening the window of industrial applications for this wastewater treatment technology [3].
In this work, graphene-based materials were tested for the first time as
catalysts for CWPO.
