A process for the destruction of organic compounds by complete or substantially complete oxidation of the organic compounds in the presence of a carbonaceous catalyst at temperatures below about 400°C is disclosed. The process involves removal of organic compounds in a regeneration step from adsorbents containing organic compounds adsorbed thereon, in which the organic compounds have been previously removed from contaminated fluid streams in an adsorption step, and destruction of the contaminants in an oxidative destruction step by contacting the organic compounds with a carbonaceous catalyst in the presence of oxygen. The process involving oxidation catalysts, optionally doped with transition metal oxides, is particularly useful for the complete or substantially complete destruction of volatile organic chemicals found in contaminated groundwaters.
                            本发明公开了一种销毁有机化合物的工艺,在低于约 400°C 的温度下,有机化合物在碳质催化剂存在下完全或基本完全氧化。该工艺包括在再生步骤中从含有吸附有机化合物的吸附剂中去除有机化合物,其中有机化合物先前已在吸附步骤中从受污染的流体流中去除,以及在氧化销毁步骤中通过在
氧气存在下使有机化合物与碳质催化剂接触来销毁污染物。涉及氧化催化剂(可选择掺入过渡金属氧化物)的工艺特别适用于完全或基本完全销毁受污染地下
水中的挥发性有机
