Abstract
From the results, it was revealed that the catalytic decomposition of o-CP occurred most effectively at 413Â K and at the initial pH of 9.8. Complete decomposition and dechlorination of o-CP were almost achieved within 1Â h, and about 85% of TOC was removed in 3.0Â h. On the other hand, the catalytic wet oxidation of o-CP at a higher pH value of 11.8 was not effective in the removal of TOC. The incomplete removal of TOC at the initial pH of 11.8 is likely attributed to a low pKa of carboxylic acids formed during the wet oxidation of o-CP.
