OXIDATION PROCESS

摘要

Treatment of an aqueous solution to yield a product is more desirable for disposal by an advanced oxidation process. Ozone is mixed with the solution, and maintaining at an elevated pressure for a time. The process may include recirculation past injector that injects ozone into the solution. Influent may be sewage, septage, leachate, ballast, and so on. The process disinfects and/or denutrifies the effluent. It may include (a) back-to-back processing of batches (b) overlapping processing with a previously treated batch (c) off-gassing (d) repetitive high pressure and low pressure cycles (e) post processing steps, such as retention without addition of ozone for a period of time to permit flocculates longer to form (f) post process filtering to remove flocculates (g) simultaneous post-processing of one batch while another batch is being processed. The process may include the treatment of solutions containing pharmaceuticals.

1. A batch process for the treatment of an aqueous solution so that the treated product is more desirable for disposal, said process comprising: obtaining an influent batch of aqueous solution for treatment, treating said batch of solution by an advanced oxidation process, said advanced oxidation process comprising causing ozone to be mixed with said solution, maintaining said mixture of solution and ozone at a pressure above atmospheric for a time of at least 2 seconds.
