This work addresses the use of MW-CWPO with activated carbon as catalyst upon different model compounds present in petrochemical wastewater. In this terms 100 mg/L of phenol, 4-chlorophenol, and toluene and 30 mg/L of naphthalene were subjected to this process. Catalyst dose and pH were optimized to 1 g/L of AC and pH 3. Under this conditions, complete removal of all pollutants after 5 min was achieved. Additionally mineralization degree above 90% was reached after 15 minutes except for toluene, which presented a maximum TOC removal of 77%. As this compounds are not likely to be found as individuals in petrochemical wastewater, several mixes were also treated upon MW-CWPO. In all trials aromatic compounds were completely depleted in the very first minutes of reaction, hence toxicity was eliminated.
