Abstract

Catalyst selection for the catalytic wet oxidation of pharmaceutical sludge was investigated. The selected catalysts include homogeneous catalysts, alkaline catalyst, Zeolite and supported Zeolite catalysts, and metallic oxide catalysts. Experiments were performed at 220 øC for 60 min with O2 initial pressure 1.0 MPa. Results showed that Zeolite and supported Zeolite catalyst significantly enhanced the wet oxidation of pharmaceutical sludge. Especially the supported Zeolite catalyst with CeO2-CuO. These results were important for the volume reduction and stabilization and harmlessness of pharmaceutical sludge using catalytic wet oxidation method.
