Catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of aniline, phenol, carboxylic acids and ammonia was carried out in a batch reactor over noble metals (Ru, Pd, Pt) supported on ceria. Ruthenium is very active for the conversion of a wide range of organic compounds and selective into carbon dioxide. The ability of ceria to transfer oxygen is essential for good performances in CWAO. However, Ru/CeO(2) is not selective for ammonia oxidation into N(2). Addition of small amount of Pd enhances both activity and selectivity of Ru in this reaction. Finally, oxidation of nitrogenous organic compounds requires moderate temperature and oxygen pressure and needs to adjust the oxidizing capacity of the catalyst.
