STUDY ON DEGRADATION PRODUCTS OF PETROLEUM WASTEWATER BY CATALYTIC SUPERCRITICAL WATER OXIDATION

摘要

Large amounts of water are used in the petroleum refinery activity and consequently significant volumes of petroleum wastewater are generated. The objective of this study is to investigate the performance of employing catalytic supercritical water oxidation to treat petroleum wastewater. The results show that temperature and catalyst concentration presented significant influence on gas production. The maximum hydrogen yield is 14.6 mol/kg.
