Catalytic wet air oxidation of oxalic acid in aqueous solution was investigated in a stirred reactor over a Pt (0.7% in wt)/Al2O3 catalyst at atmospheric pressure, in a concentration range of oxalic acid of 500-3000 ppm, and at a temperature range of 313-353 K. The conversions obtained after 5 h were 28.96 %, 45.98 % and 30.74 % for initial concentrations of 500, 1500, 3000 ppm, respectively. A rate equation of oxalic acid oxidation, in mol.h-1.g-1Pt was determined from measurements of initial rates, at different initial concentrations of oxalic acid, temperatures and catalyst mass loads. The activation energy for oxalic acid conversion was found to be 24.6 kJ mol-1.The heterogeneous catalyzed free-radical oxidation of oxalic acid was discussed.

The catalytic oxidation of aqueous crystal violet (CV) solutions was investigated using Ni and Fe catalysts supported over Mg–Al oxides synthesized by the autocombustion method. The influence of temperature, loading, and selectivity were studied in the catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of CV. The kind of metal had an important contribution in the redox process as significant differences were observed between Fe, Ni, and their mixtures. The catalysts with only Fe as active phase were more efficient for the oxidation of CV under normal conditions (T = 25 °C and atmospheric pressure) compared to those containing Ni, revealing the influence of the transition metal on catalytic properties. It was found that iron-containing materials displayed enhanced textural properties. The synthesis of Fe/MgAl catalysts by the autocombustion method led to solids with excellent catalytic behavior, 100% CV degradation in eight hours of reaction, 68% selectivity to CO2, and significant reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD).
