To perform catalytic wet air oxidation of a multicomponent reactant. To go through literature and find suitable catalyst and conditions for the reaction. To find temperature and other conditions optimum for the reaction To understand the Deactivation rate and methods to regenerate the catalyst
Involves the liquid phase oxidation of organic or oxidizable inorganic components . Complex organic compounds are mostly oxidized into carbon dioxide and water along with simpler forms .
Useful when concentration of organic pollutant are too low or when organic pollutant are toxic

Preparation of Platinum/Alumina Catalyst Wetness Incipient Method

Commonly used technique for synthesis of heterogeneous catalyst Active metal precursor is dissolved in an aqueous or organic solution Then the metal containing solution is added to a catalyst support Then the mixture is stirred in a magnetic stirrer for around 5 hours It is then left for overnight drying to convert the catalyst in powder form and remove excess moisture
Calculations
Total Alumina taken - 10 gram
Platinum weight % in the catalyst 0.58 %

Total Platinum that has to be taken 0.0583 g Molecular weight of Platinum chloride 409.82 Molecular Weight of Platinum 195.078 Total salt that has to be taken - 0.1218 gram

Characterization
Physical properties like EDX, Metal dispersion, surface area, pore area

2.
Deactivation Deactivation of supported metals by carbon or coke may occur chemically owing to chemisorptions or carbide formation or physically and mechanically Blocking of surface sites, metal crystallite encapsulation, plugging of pores, and destruction of catalyst pellets by carbon laments Regeneration Carbon and coke formation is relatively easily reversed through gasication with hydrogen, water, or oxygen
1.
Compared to conventional wet oxidation, catalytic wet oxidation offers lower energy requirements and much higher oxidation efficiencies Literature only shows catalytic wet air oxidation of single component reactant Result would be compared on the basis of T.O.C. rather than conversion; leading to better results
