Laboratory tests of phenol removal and ammonia and hydrogen sulfide stripping from SRC-I wastewater. Final technical report
Chem-Pro Corporation conducted a laboratory testing program to evaluate the use of its proprietary dephenolization process on wastewater from the SRC-I direct coal-liquefaction process. A primary objective was to develop operating conditions for use of the process on water that had not been stripped of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Also evaluated were the steps following phenol removal: raffinate stripping (solvent removal), ammonia/hydrogen sulfide stripping, and solvent and phenol recovery distillation. With an overall throughput of 1000 gal/hr-ft/sup 2/ and a feed-to-solvent ratio of 8:1, the total phenolics concentration was successfully reduced during the extraction step below the 120-ppM specification. The presence of H/sub 2/S and NH/sub 3/ set an upper limit on the steam rate for solvent-stripping; exceeding this rate caused solids to precipitate. Ammonia can be stripped from dephenolized, solvent-stripped water to below 200 ppM and hydrogen sulfide to slightly above 10 ppM. 3 references, 1 figure, 8 tables.
