Perspectives in Using Solid Catalysts for the Treatment of Water

2 Perspectives in Using Solid Catalysts for the Treatment of Water. - The use 

250°C) than those used in the conventional regeneration method for active carbons (around 800°C) 

The use of catalysts, furthermore, is required in the processes of wastewater purification by reducing treatments. Catalysts also find also application as complementary technologies to other wastewater treatment methods, such as in the control of odour, VOC, N2O and NOx emissions from wet oxidation treatments (for example, in the wet oxidation of industrial sludges), and of odours and VOC emitted from biological processes (aerobic and anaerobic). Although usually commercial catalysts are used in these cases, there are often unpredicted effects in treating complex mixtures and thus more specific catalysts would be preferable. The same is valid for catalysts used to convert stripped VOC from contaminated groundwater. 

The use of solid catalysts to improve technologies for wastewater treatment is an area of growing relevance, but further fundamental knowledge is required, especially on the following aspects  

There is an even more challenging area. Because it is often necessary to eliminate pollutants from large volume of water, it is necessary to avoid heating
