Wet air oxidation for industrial wastewater and sludge treatment: first results of a new research program in Quebec - (PPT)

摘要

Interesting opportunities for WAO and other green processes in Quebec. Model wastewater: temperature has a major impact between 240 and 300°C. Homogeneous copper catalyst shows good activity. Lagoon sludges can be treated effectivly with ≈ 85% COD removal on liquid phase and > 99% on solids. Future work: - Economic analysis: CAPEX/OPEX of studied scenarios - New lab equipment to reach supercritical conditions (> 374°C, 220 bars) - Study WAO for hospital wastewater and micropollutants Always seeking new industrial and academic partners!
