Fund Project: This work was supported by FREECATS, the European Union 7th FP (2007-2013) grant no. 280658, PEst-C/EQB/LA0020/2013, FEDER through COMPETE-Programa Operacional Factores de Competitividade, by FCT-Fundaç (2007-2013)

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were submitted to chemical and thermal treatments in order to incorporate different heteroatoms on the surface. O-, S-and N-containing groups were successfully introduced onto the CNTs without significant changes of the textural properties. The catalytic activity of these heteroatom-modified CNTs was studied in two liquid phase oxidation processes: catalytic ozonation and catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO), using oxalic acid and phenol as model compounds. In both cases, the presence of strongly acidic O-containing groups was found to decrease the catalytic activity of the CNTs. On the other hand, the introduction of S species (mainly sulfonic acids) enhanced the removal rate of the model compounds, particularly in the CWAO of phenol. Additional experiments were performed with a radical scavenger and sodium persulfate, in order to clarify the reaction mechanism. Nitrogen functionalities improve the catalytic performance of the original CNTs, regardless of the process or of the pollutant.
