Ruthenium Carbon-Based Catalysts For Catalytic Wet Air Oxidation Of Phenol

The correlations between catalytic performance in the phenol wet air oxidation (WAO) of ruthenium catalysts (3 % Ru/C) based on oxidized samples of carbon material Sibunit-4 and methods of support oxidative pretreatment and amount of different oxygen-containing species on the carbon surface were evaluated. The optimal method of carbon support pretreatment providing the most stable and active Ru/Sibunit catalyst for catalytic wet air oxidation of phenols was chosen.
