Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of initial maleic acid feed concentration (0.005 to 0.03 M) was carried out in a temperature range of 20–50°C, on micelle templated silica-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (MTS-AMP) supported copper catalyst. The influence of various operating parameters such as initial feed concentration of maleic acid, temperature, catalyst loading and the stability of the catalyst were investigated. CWPO reactions were performed in a stirred batch reactor at an atmospheric pressure in the presence of H2O2 as an oxidant. Total conversion of maleic acid into acetic acid was obtained under mild conditions (i.e. atmospheric pressure and 40°C). Blank experiments showed no measurable maleic acid conversion (i.e. only ∼0.5% conversion of initial maleic acid), indicating that a significant oxidation reaction of maleic acid is enhanced by the presence of a catalyst. Copper on micelle templated silica-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane catalyst therefore was found to be suitable for aqueous phase oxidation of maleic acid with 100% of maleic acid conversion.

Activated carbons (ACs) have been used as metal supports for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of organic compounds. A shortcoming is that added metals can undergo leaching, leading to catalyst deactivation and secondary contamination of the treated water. In the present study, CWPO of phenol aqueous solutions was investigated in the presence of five commercial ACs without added metals yet containing different extents of iron impurities resulting from their industrial preparation procedures (ROX 0.8, RX 3-Extra, C-Gran and PK 0.25-1 from Cabot Norit and HYDRAFFIN AS 12/450 from Degussa). Application of as-received ROX 0.8 leads to the best compromise between removals of phenol (79%) and total organic carbon (TOC; 50%) and iron leaching (0.22 mg L−1). In-house-modified ROX 0.8 materials, obtained by thermal treatment under inert atmosphere followed by activation under oxidative atmosphere, were also tested. The activity of ROX 0.8 oxidized at 673 K (ROXN673) was the highest among these materials (92% and 57% of phenol and TOC removals, respectively) and with iron leaching (0.67 mg L−1) well below the limits established by European regulations for discharge of treated waters. This enhanced performance was mainly explained by the more developed porous structure and higher specific surface area (SBET) of ROXN673, thus promoting better accessibility to iron impurities, which act as active sites for CWPO at the surface of the catalyst.
