Low Temperature Catlytic Wet Oxidation of Organics from Strippped Sour Water

低温催化湿式氧化提酸水中有机物的研究。澳大利亚油页岩产业价值约30亿美元，其商业化在很大程度上取决于其技术的环境可持续性。该技术的一个关键环境问题是需要从含水工业流（剥离酸水）中去除有机物。本课题旨在开发一种基于催化湿式氧化法去除脱酸水中有机物的方法。研究将集中于开发和研究潜在的催化系统，以降低速率决定步骤的活化能，提高有机物的氧化速率。这种方法的发展将是一项重大的技术成就，在许多其他工业的污水处理污染控制中有许多应用。

Low Temperature Catlytic Wet Oxidation of Organics from Strippped Sour Water. The commercialisation of a ~$3billion Australian oil shale industry heavily depends upon environmental sustainability of its technology. One key environmental issue of this technology is a need to remove organics from an aqueous industrial stream (stripped sour water). This proposal aims to develop a method based on catalytic wet oxidation for removing organics from stripped sour water. Research will be focused to develop and study potential catalytic systems to lower the activation energy of the rate-determining step and to increase the rate of organics oxidation. The development of such a method would be a substantial technology achievement with many applications in pollution control for wastewater treatment in many other industries.
