Materials for Wet Oxidation Processing Equipment (Shipboard)
Abstract
The report provides an overview of the wet oxidation process and the potential materials of construction for the reaction vessel (for shipboard wastes). The wet oxidation process requires the containment of corrosive products (the material being processed can range from very acidic to slightly basic and over a broad spectrum of wastes), at elevated temperatures and pressures. Wet oxidation systems can be constructed from commercially pure titanium as well as from titanium alloyed with palladium (.12-.25%). This type of system, it is felt, can be operated safely at approximately 500F with reasonable assurance of moderate life (approximately 10 years). However, should a longer life system be desired and one which is virtually indestructible from a chemical point of view, a tantalum-lined and coated titanium system would provide the best choice of materials.
