The decompositon of ethylenediamine (EDA) in supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) were investigated. The experiments were conducted in an isothermal and vertical continuous plug-flow reactor at 375-500°C, 25 MPa, residence time of 2-80 s, and excess oxygen of 150%. It was found that yields of nitrous oxide, nitrogen, and the denitrification rate increased as temperature and residence time increased. The kinetics for denitrification of EDA was described by a rate law involving first order reaction. The results calculated from kinetics equation reconciled the experimental data.

Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) is an advanced process mainly employed for the treatment of hazardous stable wastes, otherwise treatable by incineration. It is based on the unique properties of water above its critical point ( T c =675 K, P c =22.2 MPa), making it a superior reaction medium for the destruction of all organics in the presence of oxygen. This work presents preliminary laboratory scale studies on SCWO of nitrogen (N)-containing hazardous hydrocarbons, with a view to enhancing the process performance, using available reagents and non-complex reactor design. This article investigates the destruction of dimethylformamide (DMF), carried out in a continuous (plug flow) reactor system. SCWO of DMF was enhanced by (i) a split-oxidant system, where stoichiometric oxidant was divided between two inlet ports at various ratios and (ii) the addition of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as a co-fuel, premixed with the feedstock. Testing a range of temperatures, initial DMF concentrations, oxidant ratios, IPA ratios and oxidant split ratios, selected results were presented in terms of % total organic carbon and % N removal. Reaction kinetics were studied and showed a dramatic decrease in the activation energy upon adding IPA. Split-oxidant-feeding enhancement depended on the split ratio and secondary feed position.

This study focused on the treatment of phenol wastewater by supercritical water oxidation(SCWO). Tests were conducted by using a continuous-flow reactor system. Based on COD, organic destruction efficiencies of phenol wastewater were obtained at supercritical water conditions. Temperatures and pressures, respectively, ranged from 400-500°C,and 25-40Mpa. The reaction times varied from 30 to 190 seconds, and hydrogen peroxide was used as oxidant. Under SCWO conditions, destruction efficiencies greater than 99% were achieved.

Positive Effect

The destruction of 3-methylpyridine by supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) using propylene glycol (PG) and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as co-fuels in a plug flow reactor was carried out. Hydrogen peroxide was the oxygen source. All the experiments were carried out at 25 MPa and a range of temperatures from 425-525 ºC. The residence times range from 6 s to 14 s. Results were presented in terms of total organic carbon (TOC) as a function of time with various process parameters. The findings support the positive effect that propylene glycol has on the destruction of 3-methylpyridine, where TOC removal is ≥ 97.5% at 525 ºC and 14 s. The maximum TOC removal efficiency is 93% at 425 ºC, 14 s, and the [propylene glycol]/[3-methylpyridine]o ratio of 3. The removal efficiency of nitrogen in the presence of propylene glycol reaches 89% at 525 ºC and 10 s. The oxidant ratio also has a positive effect on the removal of TOC in the three systems. Addition of propylene glycol causes a significant development in the ratio at 425 ºC, more so than when isopropyl alcohol was added. This is due to two hydroxyl groups in propylene glycol oxidation that enhance the reaction by generating various free radicals.
