Abstract

The present invention provides a catalyst used in wastewater treatment process wherein not only an organic compound not containing nitrogen, sulfur or halogen is decomposed, but also a nitrogen-containing compound, a sulfur-containing compound and an organic halogeno compound are effectively decomposed, thereby wastewater are treated with excellent efficiency for a long period of time. The invention also provides a production process for the catalyst and said wastewater treatment process. The first catalyst comprises: an oxide of iron as an A component; and at least one kind of element as a B component selected from a group consisting of cobalt, nickel, cerium, silver, gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium. The second catalyst comprises: an oxide as an A component containing iron and at least one kind of element selected from a group consisting of titanium, silicon and zirconium; and at least one kind of element as a B component selected from a group consisting of cobalt, nickel, cerium, silver, gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium.

Dependent claims

A catalyst for treating wastewater, consisting of an A component, which is at least one selected from a group consisting of a calcined product of an oxide powder and a calcined, molded product of an oxide powder, and a B component, which has oxidation activity and is soaked into said A component, wherein;

particles of said oxide powder consist of an oxide of iron and an oxide of at least one selected from a group consisting of titanium, silicon and zirconium, and
said B component is a metal or compound of at least one element selected from a group consisting of cobalt, nickel, cerium, silver, gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium;
and
wherein the A component is contained in a range of from 90 to 99.95% by weight and the B component is contained in a range of from 0.05 to 10% by weight, wherein a total of the A and B components is 100% by weight, and in the A component, iron is in a range of from 4.95% to 95% by weight as an oxide and at least one kind of element selected from a group consisting of titanium, silicon and zirconium is in a range of from 4.95 to 95% by weight as an oxide, wherein a total of the oxide of iron and oxide of at least one element selected from a group consisting of titanium, silicon and zirconium is in a range of from 90 to 99.95% by weight.
