Preliminary Test of the Wet Oxidation of Organics in Basin F Wastewater at Rocky Mountain Arsenal.

摘要

Various decontamination processes are candidate for treatment of wastewater from several sources at RMA. Wet oxidation is a unit operation that involves oxidation of organic materials with gaseous oxygen in the presence of liquid water at temperatures between about 400 degree and 700 degree F. Waste from basin F at RMA has several percent organics content. It was used for the initial wet oxidation experiment because the wet oxidation rate is proportional to the concentration of organics. The extent of oxidation obtained in this first trial was about 78 percent of the basin F cod in 60 minutes (74 percent in 30 minutes).
