Degradation of Toluene from Gas Streams by Heterogeneous Fenton Oxidation in a Slurry Bubble Reactor with Activated Carbon-Based Catalysts.

ABSTRACT: A novel approach for the treatment of volatile organic compounds from gaseous streams was developed. In order to accomplish this, a semi-batch bubble reactor was used, aiming to assess the toluene (selected as model compound) degradation from gaseous streams via heterogeneous Fenton oxidation. Activated carbon-based catalysts-metal-free or iron-impregnated-with different textural and chemical surface properties were used for the first time as catalysts, in order to degrade gaseous toluene using such technology. Complementary characterization techniques, such as nitrogen adsorption at -196 °C, elemental analysis, pH at the point of zero charge (pH_PZC), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), were used.
