Abstract

The mild catalytic oxidation of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) into biodegradable dimethylsulfone is proposed as an efficient pretreatment of wastewaters subjected to biological treatment processes. A SiO 2–TiO 2 mesoporous xerogel prepared by a non-hydrolytic route, as well as titanium silicalite TS-1 showed very good activity and stability in the catalytic oxidation of DMSO with H 2O 2 in dilute aqueous solution, at room temperature.
