Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBA) using Ru-based catalysts supported on various materials like TiO, CeO-TiO, ZrO-TiO, and LaO-TiO at high temperature and pressure.
- The catalysts were characterized using techniques such as N-sorption and XRD, revealing that cerium-containing catalysts (Ru/CeTi) showed significantly higher activity due to their larger specific surface area and presence of acidic sites.
- The results suggest that cerium enhances catalytic efficiency by trapping p-HBA molecules and preventing carbon deposition on the Ru surface through its redox activity.
