Abstract
The process of deep phenol oxidation in electrochemically activated medium has been studied in an effort to develop the process for neutralizing the wastes of highly toxic matter. The known scheme of phenol destruction to carbon dioxide and water through the stage of p-benzoquinone and carboxylic acid formation has been confirmed. The comparative analysis of specific reaction rates of phenol oxidation has been conducted using the various oxidizers including oxygen, hydrogen peroxide in the presence of Fe2+, and ozone and also by means of electrochemical oxidation.
