TREATMENT PROCESS FOR ACRYLONITRILE PLANT WASTEWATER STREAMS

摘要

TREATMENT PROCESS FOR ACRYLONITRILE PLANT WASTEWATER STREAMS A process for the destruction of organic wastes andammonia from acrylonitrile plant wastewater, comprisingcontacting volatilized wastewater with a catalyst at anelevated temperature so as to convert volatile organiccompounds and ammonia to a mixture comprising hydrogen,nitrogen and carbon dioxide which are separated and removedfrom the stream, yielding a purified aqueous stream,substantially free of organic compounds and ammonia.
