Copper/activated carbon as catalyst for organic wastewater treatment

A new heterogeneous copper catalyst was developed using highly porous activated carbon as the catalyst support. The catalyst was designed to promote the oxidation of organic pollutants in dyeing and printing wastewater from the textile industry, which was carried out in a 2 l high-pressure reactor....

Description
Summary:A new heterogeneous copper catalyst was developed using highly porous activated carbon as the catalyst support. The catalyst was designed to promote the oxidation of organic pollutants in dyeing and printing wastewater from the textile industry, which was carried out in a 2 l high-pressure reactor. The new catalyst enhanced the conversion of organic compounds in dyeing and printing wastewater, shortened the reaction time, and lowered the reaction temperature and the system total pressure. The conditions for preparing the catalyst were experimentally optimized according to their catalytic oxidation efficiency in wastewater treatment.
