    In this work, the Box-Benkhen experimental Design (BBD) was applied for the optimization of the parameters of the electrocatalytic degradation of wastewaters resulting from a phenolic resins industry placed in the suburbs of Medellin (Colombia). The direct and the oxidant assisted electro-oxidation experiments were carried out in a laboratory scale batch cell reactor, with monopolar configuration, and electrodes made of graphite (anode) and titanium (cathode). A multifactorial experimental design was proposed, including the following experimental variables: initial phenol concentration, conductivity, and pH. The direct electro-oxidation process allowed to reach ca. 88% of phenol degradation, 38% of mineralization (TOC), 52% of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) degradation, and an increase in water biodegradability of 13%. The synergetic effect of the electro-oxidation process and the respective oxidant agent (Fenton reactant, potassium permanganate, or sodium persulfate) let to a significant increase in the rate of the degradation process. At the optimized variables values, it was possible to reach ca. 99% of phenol degradation, 80% of TOC and 88% of COD degradation. A kinetic study was accomplished, which included the identification of the intermediate compounds generated during the oxidation process.

    In this work, the response surface methodology was applied as a tool for the optimization of the operational conditions of phenol photo-degradation over TiO2 and 2% wt Mo/TiO2 catalysts. A multifactorial experimental design was proposed, including the following variables: phenol initial concentration (Ci), catalyst loading (Cat) and pH. The apparent reaction rate constant and the percentage of phenol degradation were chosen as the response variables. When TiO2 was used as catalyst, the following optimal operational conditions were found: Ci=10ppm, Cat=0.7g/L and pH=8 for both UV and visible light. For 2% wt Mo/TiO2 catalyst, the optimal operating conditions strongly depended on the applied radiation source. Thus, under UV radiation: Ci=10 ppm, Cat=0.7 g/L and pH=8 were found as the optimum conditions. Using visible light, and the following optimized conditions, Ci=10 ppm, Cat=0.1 g/L, pH =3.6, the Mo containing catalyst showed to be the most efficient. Under these conditions, the amount of 2% wt. Mo/TiO2 was 7 times lower than that of unsupported TiO2.
