Abstract

The regeneration of activated carbon was studied using the wet air oxidation process in the temperature range of 150-240°C and oxygen partial pressure range of 0.2 to 1.0 MPa. Phenol was used as substrate. The overall mechanism of regeneration has been analysed and the different steps taking place during the regeneration process were individually investigated. Kinetics of oxidation of phenol and oxygen mass transfer coefficients have been estimated in the ranges of temperature and pressure studied. Oxidative degeneration characteristics of activated carbon were also studied. The conditions of temperature and pressure have been found at which the extent of regeneration is favourable.
