The catalytic wet oxidation was studied of phenol, 2-aminophenol, salicylic acid and 5-sulfosalicylic acid performed in a laboratory trickle bed reactor. A three-phase high-pressure catalytic reactor with an inside diameter of 18 mm and length of catalytic bed of 200 mm was operated at temperatures 90-180 °C, pressures 2-7 MPa and liquid space velocity 1-10 h-1. Simultaneously, the catalytic activity and the stability of extruded active carbon black Chezacarb and active carbon Chemviron were tested. At a comparable activity, the active carbon Chemviron exhibited a greater mechanical strength and stability. The influence of phenol substituents on the oxidation conversion corresponded to their inductive effect: The electropositive amino group supported the oxidation, on the contrary, the presence of carboxy and sulfo groups on aromatic ring led to only low conversion. The complications on evaluating the experimental data are caused by the non-isothermal temperature profile along the catalyst bed, the non-ideal oxygen dissolution in aqueous solutions and especially the hydrodynamic effect of flow rate on the degree of catalyst wetting and thus on the entire effectiveness of the oxidation process.

Application of trickle-bed reactor and active carbon catalyst to catalytic wet air oxidation of phenolic pollutants is explored over a wide range of operating conditions. The study focuses on the assessment of key engineering aspects such as reactor start-up, gas-liquid flow directions and effects of temperature, pressure, phenol feed concentration and liquid flow rate on activity and stability performance of unsupported active carbon. Moreover, for analyzing the potential integration of CWAO as a pre-treatment in biological wastewater remediation, intermediate distribution and biodegradability enhancement of treated effluents are obtained from HPLC analysis and respirometry assays, respectively. Finally, since slow carbon burn-off is occurring at CWAO conditions, some promising options for improvement of catalyst stability are pointed out on both molecular (iron coating of active carbon) and reactor (periodic reactor operation) scale.
