Abstract
Aqueous phase heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of benzene by dissolved oxygen is reported. Using a bimetallic platinum-ruthenium catalyst supported on a high surface area activated carbon, good conversions were obtained at temperatures above 100°C and space-times greater than 40 seconds. Complete conversion of benzene to carbon dioxide and water was achieved at 100°C with a reactor space-time of 300 s.
