Wastewater Treatment Using Catalytic Oxidation-Water System with Natural Mineral Catalyst

 

 

JAPAN

POSTECH

- Mecha-Cera Catalyst

- The Catalytic Oxidation-Water System has been

used in living effluent, odor, VOC and others wastewater treatment.

- Development Catalyst (P1, P2,P3)

- Lab scale test

- Pilot Plant Test

- Current Work

Development of New Type Catalyst to make more cheap and active calyst

--> Natural Mineral Catalyst

Advantage of COW system

 - Energy saving because of operating in room temperature and 1atm

 - Preventing poisoning catalyst and no need to separate catalyst because of separating catalyst with reactant

 - Easy to make hybrid system because of small size of catalytic bed

  Experimental condition (Batch System)

   - Orange 2 = 1g/L solution ( CODcr = 1500ppm)
   - NaOCl solution concentration = 200ppm
   - Volume of Orange 2 solution = 100ml
   - Volume of NaOCl solution = 10ml
   - No aeration
   - Vigorous stirring
   - Reaction time = 6 hours
   - Amount of catalyst = 1g

>>> Catalytic Oxidant water enhance Removal of CODcr about 20%


 

 


Continuous System

  - 2000 mg/L phenol in H2O
  - 200ppm sodium hypochlorite(NaOCl) solution
  - Phenol solution feeding rate = 2.02 mL / min
  - NaOCl solution feeding rate= 0.18 mL / min
  - Reaction volume = 500mL
  - Stirring rate = 300 rpm
  - O2 feeding rate = 20 mL / min
  - Reaction Volume of Catalytic Oxidation Tower = 60 mL
  - Catalyst volume(P1 : P2 : P3 = 1EA : 6EA : 3EA) = 18 mL
