Results of Testing the Plant for Supercritical Water Oxidation of Nitroglycerin and Diethylene Glycol Dinitrate

In Russia, the first stationary supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) pilot plant for the oxidation of industrial wastes at an operating factory with a tubular flow reactor and a capacity of about 40 kg/h wastewater has been created on the basis of fundamental investigations. It allowed for the elimination of a mixture of nitroglycerin and diethylene glycol dinitrate in the wastewater with very high efficiency. Acetone was used as the fuel, and hydrogen peroxide or air was used as the oxidant.
