Catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) technology can efficiently treat organic wastewater
but the performance of existing catalysts
especially its stability
is far from industrial applications. In this study
ZrO
2
was used to modify TiO
2
support to form the stable Ru/TiO
2
-ZrO
2
catalysts. It was found that the Ru/TiO
2
-ZrO
2
catalysts showed excellent performance for catalytic wet air oxidation of phenolsulfonic acid wastewater. They gave high total organic carbon (TOC) conversions (
>
90%) and remained stable in 5 consecutive running in the Ti/Zr ratio range from 9∶1 to 7∶3. On the other hand
TOC conversion decreased from 99.1% to 65.3% in 5 consecutive cycles for the conventional Ru/TiO
2
catalyst. The characterization results of XRD
BET
XPS
H
2
-TPR and ICP-OES indicated that ZrO
2
can enter the lattice of TiO
2
to form TiO
2
-ZrO
2
solid solution
which prevented the transformation of TiO
2
from anatase to rutile. In addition
the modification of ZrO
2
strengthened the interaction between Ru and the support
which effectively inhibited the leaching of Ru metal. The stable support structure and good anti-loss performance are the main reasons for the excellent reaction performance of Ru/TiO
