Abstract
Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) had been investigated as an advanced technology for the removal of inert and stable organics found in wide range of wastes. Ammonia and nitrous oxide are confirmed in outlet of SCWO system treating municipal sludge. In this study, a mathematical model was established to simulate nitrogen reaction, in order to explore the kinetics of ammonia reaction and reduce the nitrous oxide generation. This developed mathematical model was trained by data from Duke Sanitation Solution group where a pilot-scale supercritical water oxidation facility is invested to treat municipal sludge. The final model was validated by practical data obtained from this facility, and give instruction on SCWO operation.
