Abstract
The purity of organically polluted waters is improved by contacting with a zinc titanate catalyst under oxidizing conditions. In one embodiment, an aqueous stream containing oxidizable organic pollutants is subjected to oxidizing conditions in the presence of a metal promoted zinc titanate catalyst to improve the purity of the aqueous product. In a second embodiment, an aqueous stream containing oxidizable organic pollutants is subjected to oxidizing conditions in the presence of a metal promoted zinc titanate catalyst to convert the water to a potable aqueous product.
