Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Aromatics are important water pollutants, which are discharged from various industries. Their effects are ranging from modifying the photosynthetic reactions in water bodies to altering cellular metabolism and DNA in humans. Physical, chemical, and biological methods were all investigated for the removal of such pollutants from wastewater. In many situations, due to the high toxicity and resistance to biological treatments, chemical destruction of the organic compounds, to carbon dioxide and water, is desired. Wet Air Oxidation (WAO) is one of the available technologies, suitable for high organic loads and/or toxic contaminants. The main disadvantage of this method is the need of elevated temperatures and pressure. Alternatively, WAO in the presence of a catalyst, Catalytic Wet Air Oxidation (CWAO), reduces the severity of the reaction conditions, therefore reducing the cost of wastewater treatment. As research in the CWAO field expands strongly, this issue proposes to gather the latest developments in terms of catalytic systems and process requirements.

“Catalytic Wet Air Oxidation of Aromatics” Special Issue will include original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications, on the topic, as defined by the keywords below.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract
Natural bearing (raw and calcined at 500 °C) and iron-enriched (impregnation and pillaring) montmorillonitic clay samples were prepared. The obtained samples were characterized (X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) and evaluated as catalysts in catalytic [...] Read more.
Natural bearing (raw and calcined at 500 °C) and iron-enriched (impregnation and pillaring) montmorillonitic clay samples were prepared. The obtained samples were characterized (X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) and evaluated as catalysts in catalytic wet oxidation of Brilliant Green and Crystal Violet. Experiments were conducted in the same conditions (0.5 g catalysts, 300 mL air/min or 0.5 mL H2O2, 25 mL of dye solution, 25 °C, initial solution pH = 6.0, for 3 h) in thermostated batch reaction tubes. Process evolution was followed using UV-Vis spectrometry (200–1100 cm−1) and total organic carbon. Dye removal efficiencies (decolorization) between 98 and 99% were determined, while total organic carbon removal efficiencies were calculated to be in the 53–98% range. Iron leakage investigation showed that iron is lost in higher amounts for the catalysts prepared using the impregnation method by comparison with the pillared sample. Full article
