Hydrothermal Destruction of Organics in Radford Army Ammunition Plant Water-Dry Waste Water: Bench-Scale and Engineering-Scale Testing,

Abstract

The main purpose of this work was to evaluate the reaction chemistry and required operating conditions, and obtain design-related data, for the hydrothermal destruction of organics in Radford Army's Ammunition Plant Water-Dry Waste Water (RAAP waste water). Another prime objective of this work was to demonstrate the use of a new pressure vessel, the Dual Shell Pressure Balanced Vessel (DSPBV), for processing such waste streams. Bench-scale batch tests, bench-scale continuous tests, and a demonstration run with the engineering-scale DSPBV system were conducted. With the exception of some testing with the engineering-scale DSPBV system, H2O2 was added as the oxidant. During a portion of the demonstration run, air was introduced as the oxidant to the DSPBV reactor.
