Catalytic wet air oxidation of butyric acid solutions using carbon supported iridium catalysts

Aqueous solutions of butyric acid were treated by catalytic wet air oxidation using carbon-supported iridium catalysts in a stirred reactor. Under the operating conditions of 6.9 bar of oxygen partial pressure and 200 ◦C of temperature, conversions up to 52.9% after 2 h were obtained depending on th...
