resumo
Organic pollutants, such as phenol and its derivatives, are commonly present in
wastewaters from several industries. These compounds are difficult to remove by
conventional biological processes, mainly when present at high concentrations (1-10 g L-1)1.
Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) is regarded as a potential solution for the treatment
of aqueous effluents containing this type of recalcitrant, toxic and non-biodegradable
compounds.
