M. Goto et al., Kinetic analysis for destruction of municipal sewage sludge and alcohol distillery wastewater by supercritical water oxidation, IND ENG RES, 38(5), 1999, pp. 1863-1865
Supercritical water oxidation was applied to the destruction of municipal e
xcess sewage sludge and alcohol distillery wastewater of molasses. The reac
tion was carried out in a batch reactor with hydrogen peroxide as an oxidan
t in the temperature range 673-773 K. Total organic carbon was measured as
a function of reaction time. The dynamic data were analyzed by a first-orde
r reaction model. The reaction rate constant coincides with those reported
in the literature.
