Glycerol-based carbon materials for the catalytic wet peroxide oxidation process. In 9º Encontro Nacional de Catálise e Materiais Porosos. Porto.http://hdl.handle.net/10198/8399It is known that metal-free carbon materials can act as catalysts for the catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) process to treat organic pollutants in aqueous solutions [I]. On the other hand, crude glycerol, such as resulting from biodiesel production, is being offered as an abundant and low cost feedstock [2]. In the present work, glycerol-based carbon materials (OBCMs) with distinct properties were produced and tested as catalysts for CWPO, using 2-nitrophenol (2-NP) as a non-biodegradable model pollutant.engconference object
