Abstract
Chlorinated organics released in aqueous effluent streams from various industries cause a major environmental
concern. A systematic study of hydrogenation reaction of phenol to cyclohexanol over a Ruthenium supported catalyst
was carried out. Different supports like alumina, silica, C and titania were used as Ruthenium support. Different kinetic
parameters such as speed of agitation, temperature, pressure, catalyst concentration with respect to conversion of phenol
were studied. The experimental conditions where maximum conversion of phenol obtained were determined and the
conditions were used for phenol conversion from industrial waste water samples.
