It has been shown that the CeO2/gamma-Al2O3 catalyst is a feasible alternative to CeO2 for the catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of phenol because it remains an effective catalyst and yet is cheaper to prepare. In this study, we found that the optimal cerium content in the CeO2/y-Al2O3 catalyst was 20wt.%, regardless of catalyst loading. Furthermore, at 180 degreesC, with a phenol concentration of 1000 mg l(-1), and an O-2 partial pressure of 1.0 MPa or 1.5 MPa, the optimal catalyst loading was 3.0 g l(-1). The efficacy of CWAO of phenol improved with O-2 partial pressure, although the effects of O-2 pressure were more significant between 0.5 MPa and 1.5 MPa than between 1.5 MPa and 2.0 MPa. After 2 h of reaction, approximately 100% phenol conversion and 80% total organic carbon (TOC) removal was recorded at 180degreesC, 1000mg l(-1) of phenol and 3.0g l(-1) of catalyst. Because these percentages subsequently leveled off, it is suggested that 2h is a suitable time over which to run the reaction. The efficacy of CWAO of phenol decreased as initial phenol concentration was raised (from 400 to 2500mg l(-1)), with the exception of phenol conversion after about 2h. for which 400mg l(-1) produced the lowest phenol conversion figure. Higher phenol concentrations require both catalyst loading and O-2 partial pressure to be increased to maintain high performance. For example, for 2000mg l(-1) and 2500mg l(-1) phenol, nearly 100% phenol conversion and 90% TOC removal after 4h of reaction at 180 C required 4.0g l(-1) of catalyst and 2.0 MPa.
