In MEO process a metal ion in acid medium is oxidized from its lower oxidation state to higher oxidation state and this oxidized species destructs the organic compounds into carbon dioxide and water and get reduced. Therefore the metal ion is not consumed in the reaction and acts as a mediator. The mediator ions used are Ce, Ag, Co etc. A few research groups around the world are developing MEO process, with different metal ions, towards the commercial scale. However, there is still a strong need for detailed information on the destruction patterns and also the effect of various influential parameters. |
