Abstract
Catalytic oxidation is a possible process for treating wastewater effluents containing phenol from catalytic cracking units and coal tar plants. Experimental data were collected to determine intrinsic rate constants for phenol oxidation to CO2 and water. These constants were used in the design and optimization of a proposed process. Total cost for 99% reduction of phenol from 1000 gallons of wastewater (700 ppm) from the catalytic cracker was $0.35. Total cost per 1000 gallons (4000 ppm) from coal tar was $0.60.
