AB  - This study evaluates the application of Wet Peroxide Oxidation (WPO) for the 
      treatment of solutions containing 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 2,4-dichlorophenol 
      (2,4-DCP). These compounds are of special interest due to their high toxicity and 
      low biodegradability. WPO is included in the Advanced Oxidation Processes, which 
      are technologies based on an initial formation of hydroxyl radicals that further 
      oxidize the organic matter. The influence of some operating conditions such as 
      temperature, dosage of hydrogen peroxide and initial concentration of the 
      chlorophenols was studied in absence of a catalyst. The results of this study 
      prove that 4-CP and 2,4-DCP can be completely removed from wastewaters by means 
      of WPO. Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and 4-CP removals of 72.3% and 100%, 
      respectively, were achieved working at 100 degrees C with 2.5 mL of H(2)O(2) and 
      an initial concentration of 500 ppm of 4-CP after 90 min of reaction. Under the 
      same conditions but with an initial concentration of 500 ppm of 2,4-DCP a TOC 
      removal of 59% and a complete removal of the target compound were achieved.
