Abstract: In this paper, RuO2/γ-Al2O3 and RuO2-CeO2/γ-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method. The structure of the catalysts was investigated by XRD, XPS and ESR. The catalytic activity was studied in the wet air oxidation(WAO) of phenol. The results show that the dispersion of RuO2 particles is higher on RuO2-CeO2/γ-Al2O3 catalyst than that on RuO2/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. There were oxygen deficiencies and chemisorbed oxygen on the surface of the two catalysts. Moreover, the amount of them increased after the addition of CeO2 into RuO2/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. RuO2/γ-Al2O3 and RuO2-CeO2/γ-Al2O3 catalysts have a good activity in WAO of phenol. At a mass concentration 4 200 mg/L of phenol, 150 ℃ and 3 MPa, phenol was totally removed after 150 min over RuO2/γ-Al2O3 catalysts, and the phenol removal ratio was 96% after a 60 min reaction over RuO2-CeO2/γ-Al2O3 in WAO.
