RESUMO
Objective To prepare the Pt/CeO2/GAC catalyst used to catalyze oxidation of condensate wastewater and to investigate whether the doping of Ce can increase catalytic activity for oxidizing condensate wastewater.Methods Impregnation glycol reduction method was adopted to prepare Pt/CeO2/GAC catalyst,and it was characterized by BET,XPS and XRD.The catalytic activity was determined by batch experiment.Results The experimental results revealed that more than 93.4% of ethanol in the condensate wastewater was oxidized to aldehyde and acetic acid with 13.33 g?L-1 Pt/CeO2/GAC catalyst dose,for 2 h reaction time,at 40 ℃ and normal pressure.In contrast,the oxidation efficiency was only 85.0% with Pt/GAC catalyst without doping Ce in the same reaction condition.Conclusion It is proven that the doping of Ce in Pt/GAC improves the catalytic activity.The characterization of Pt/CeO2/GAC catalyst shows that Ce is presented as Ce4+ that not only increases the content of chemisorbed oxygen on the surface of the catalyst,but also increases the content of Pt greatly.
