Synthesis of the Cu/Flokite Catalysts and their Performances for Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation of Phenol

The supported Cu/Flokite catalysts were prepared by conventional incipient wetness impregnation. The catalysis oxidation degradation of phenol was carried out in heterogeneous catalyst and H2O2 process. The results indicated that the reaction system with catalyst and hydrogen peroxide was more benefit to degradation of phenol. When the phenol initial concentration was 100 mg/L, the phenol removal over the 2.5%Cu -2.5% Fe/Flokite catalyst could reach 96%. The peroxide catalytic oxidation process over the enhanced heterogeneous catalyst would be a novel technique for the treatment of phenol wastewater.
