Coal Conversion Wastewater Treatment by Catalytic Oxidation in Supercritical Water

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/3826· OSTI ID:3826

In previous reports, we showed that CARULITE 150 from Carus Chemical Company was so effective with oxidation of phenol in supercritical water (SCW) that the results we obtained were likely influenced by internal mass-transfer resistance. We also reported that oxidation of phenol over MnO{sub 2} powder in SCW improved the conversions of both phenol and total organic carbon (TOC) relative to non-catalytic oxidation while the catalytic oxidation kinetics was free from mass-transfer limitation. In this report we continued the investigation of oxidation over the MnO{sub 2} powder in SCW.
