Enhancement of Supercritical Water Oxidation by Dihydric Alcohol | Chapter 9 | Current Topics and Emerging Issues in Chemical Science Vol. 2

 Supercritical water corrosion (SCWO) serves as an advanced method predominantly used for the management of stable basic wastes. The investigation proposed to explore the request of two types of alcohols, namely propylene glycol (PG) and isopropyl intoxicating (IPA), as co-fuels. The purpose was to determine their effectiveness in the destruction of 3-methylpyridine by taking advantage of hydrogen peroxide as the basic source of oxygen. The experiments were attended in a plug flow reactor under a pressure of 25 MPa and at hotnesses ranging from 425 to 525ºC, accompanying residence times variable from 6 s to 14 s. The results were analyzed in conditions of total organic element (TOC) removal as a function momentary and various process limits. The results showed that propylene glycol had a certain effect on the destruction of 3-methylpyridine, with TOC discharge reaching ≥ 97.5% at 525ºC and 14 s. The capital TOC removal effectiveness of 93% was achieved at 425ºC, 14 s, and a [propylene glycol]/[3-methylpyridine]o percentage of 3. Furthermore, the presence of propylene glycol enhanced the removal efficiency of nitrogen, that reached 89% at 525ºC and 10 s. The oxidant percentage was also establish to have a positive effect on the discharge of TOC in all three plans. Propylene glycol showed a greater affect the ratio at 425ºC than isopropyl intoxicating, owing to two together hydroxyl groups in propylene glycol's oxidation, that generate differing free radicals and enhance the reaction.
