Resumen:
Wet proofed catalysts were prepared by successive immersion steps of conventional 37% CuO/Al2O3 samples in a PTFE fibres suspension. Conventional and hydrophobic catalysts were tested for the oxidation of phenol solutions (5g/L), at 140ºC and 7 atm of O2 pressure, in a trickle bed reactor. For the conventional catalyst, phenol conversion decreased with reaction time. However, for the wet proofed catalysts, phenol conversion levels remained almost constant with usage. The hydrophobic layer improved catalyst stability and minimized the solubilization of Cu2+.
