Abstract
A study on Fenton's reagent-enhanced supercritical water oxidation (SCFO) of wastewater released from 3-hydroxypyridine production was carried out in this paper. The effects of temperature, oxidant multiple, residence time, Fe2+ concentration, and pH on the degradation efficiency of wastewater were investigated. The Plackett–Burman test was designed to evaluate various factors, namely, temperature, oxidant multiple, and pH, which were found to significantly affect degradation efficiency. Response surface analysis was performed to optimize the parameter levels of the main influencing factors. The results indicated that the optimal conditions required for the oxidative degradation of wastewater in the SCFO systems were pH of 3, temperature of 473 °C, oxidant multiple of 7, Fe2+ concentration of 0.5 mg L−1, and residence time of 262.6 s (flow rate: 1.5 mL min−1). Under these conditions, the total organic carbon removal rate of the wastewater could reach 98.1%. The activation energy of the wastewater under SCFO conditions was 55.3 kJ mol−1, and the pre-exponential factor A was 52.8 s−1.
