Abstract
A supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) process with oxidant multi-injection was studied in a continuous flow system in which the same amount of oxidant feed is split between two points – a first injection at the reactor inlet and a second injection at one of the three different positions along the reactor. Under the same operating conditions, this multi-injection configuration showed advantages over the system with a single oxidant entry. Moreover, oxidant dosage in a SCWO reactor is a key aspect in energy management.In this work, experiments were performed to find the best oxidant dosage to obtain the maximum organic conversion. Experiments were carried out using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as a model compound for nitrogen-containing hydrocarbons in wastewaters. All experiments were carried out at 250bar with an oxygen coefficient n=1 and a temperature of 400°C. Each experiment was carried out at five different residence times (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10s). Once the best configuration had been determined, the effect of temperature (400–550°C), initial organic concentration (5–30mM), oxygen coefficient (0.5–3) and residence time (2–10s) was investigated in the SCWO process of DMF.
