Oxidation of Phenol and Acetone in a Model Water Flow in Continuous Mode at High Pressure

Abstract

The oxidation of the “water-phenol-acetone” system, simulating the organic component of the concentrated water runoff from the Bisphenol-A plant of PJSC Kazanorgsintez, was experimentally studied in the temperature range of 523÷873 K, pressure 25 MPa, duration 2÷4 min in continuous mode. Air oxygen taken with excess coefficients equal to 10÷30 was used as an oxidizing agent. The composition of the oxidation reaction product, the indicator of chemical oxygen demand, the pH of the initial sample and reaction products, and the conversion were determined. A decrease in the initial organic compounds in the model runoff has been established.
