Resumen:
  Abstract   The catalytic oxidation of phenol solutions using H2O2 as oxidizing agent and a home-made CuO/Al2O3 catalyst was studied in a laboratory batch reactor.  Experiments were performed at temperatures between 20 and 70ºC. PH, phenol and H2O2 concentrations were measured as a function of time. Phenol conversion and hydrogen peroxide decomposition increased with increasing temperatures. Stability studies showed that catalyst remained moderately active after 26 h of usage.
