Continuous decomposition of oxidisable materials in aqueous media, e.g. pollutants in effluents, by catalytic reaction with an oxidant, e.g. hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide, in aqueous solution using a fixed bed of a particulate catalyst of at least 1 % of nickel or copper oxide, optionally plus a basic oxide, e.g. zinc oxide, on a porous support. The support forms 80-99 % by weight of the catalyst. |
