Screening of Activated Carbons for the Treatment of Highly Concentrated Phenol Solutions Using Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation: The Effect of Iron Impurities on the Catalytic Activity

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...
