Popis: Chemical methods of waste-water treatment. Chemical methods of waste management by oxidation can be considered for particular effluents whose constituents are degraded too slowly in conventional sewage treatment plants or which interfere with the biodegradation of other substances. Of these methods, those we have to choose from today are, in order of increasing operating temperature: oxidation with hydrogen peroxide – wet oxidation at high pressure – evaporation and combustion. None of these methods is fundamentally better than the others, i.e. none has a maximum ecological benefit coinciding with a minimum economic impact. Detailed experimental work is required to establish the limits and possibilities in each case and thus to form a basis for useful comparisons. Thermal processes are normally ruled out for low concentrations of degradable constituents in waste water because the specific energy costs per unit volume are too high; this is where hydrogen peroxide may offer advantages, especially when the proportion of these constituents fluctuates. With higher concentrations, wet oxidation can be employed; evaporation and combustion are suitable if there is also a high concentration of inorganic salts.
