TLDR
In this paper, a two-stage wet oxidation process for COD removal from high strength wastewater is disclosed, where the wastewater stream is treated in a first stage subcritical wet oxidation zone at temperatures between about 250° and 374° C. to remove a substantial portion of the COD.
Abstract
A two-stage wet oxidation process for COD removal from high strength wastewater is disclosed. The wastewater stream is treated in a first stage subcritical wet oxidation zone at temperatures between about 250° and 374° C. to remove a substantial portion of the COD. Subsequently, all or a portion of the first stage oxidized waste stream is treated in a second stage supercritical wet oxidation zone at temperatures of 374° to about 600° C. to remove any remaining COD content. Both stages of wet oxidation treatment are carried out at essentially the same system pressure.

Slurry dewatering and conversion of biosolids to a renewable fuel

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for treating municipal sewage and storm water containing biosolids to discharge standards, where the cell structure of the dead cells is destroyed and carbon dioxide is split off to lower the oxygen content of the cells.

Method and apparatus for multiple-stage and recycle wet oxidation

TL;DR: In this paper, an organic or inorganic feed compound can be treated in two or more zones to progressively oxidize the compound, where the first zone oxidizes the compound to an intermediate product which includes a first intermediate compound which is intermediate the feed compound and an end product.

Reactor for supercritical water oxidation of waste

TL;DR: In this paper, the walls of the pressure vessel are thermally insulated and chemically isolated from the harsh environment of the reaction zone in the reactor, allowing the vessel to handle the high pressures involved, since it is maintained at a reasonably low temperature range.

Process for the wet oxidation of organic substances

TL;DR: In this paper, a process has been developed for the oxidation of organic substances, dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous system, with a gas containing molecular oxygen at elevated temperature and under elevated pressure chiefly to carbon dioxide and water, with subsequent phase separation of the reaction mixture into a gaseous phase substantially containing inert gas, carbon dioxide, steam and organic constituents and a liquid phase substantially including water.
