Abstract

The mechanism of oxidative adsorption of substituted phenols on H + -Cu 2+ -exchanged montmorillonite has been investigated via visible absorption spectroscopy. A characteristic red absorption maximum at approximately 520 nm appears to derive from a phenoxonium ion. The presence of water increased phenol reactivity by increasing the pH of the clay and thus facilitating phenol oxidation
