WET OXIDATION WITH THE AID OF A POROUS CATALYTIC CONTACTOR

摘要

A process for oxidation of oxidizable materials which are dissolved or suspended in a liquid phase, wherein there is used a contactor in the form of a porous membrane, said contactor being designed such that an oxidizing phase flows along one surface of the contactor while the phase to be oxidized flows along the other, and in that the oxidation is catalysed by (i) a catalyst material which constitutes the porous membrane or is deposited in or onto a porous membrane support, or catalysed by (ii) a catalyst material which is supplied to one or both of the feed streams comprising the oxidizing phase and the phase to the oxidized, resepectively, which flow along said porous membrane support.
