A Survey of Catalysts for Wet-Oxidation Waste Management Process

A series of experiments to evaluate performance of catalysts for CELSS System Wet-oxidation process has been carried out.

Data obtained from the experiments show that the noble metal selected for the catalyst gives a good performance in oxidizing Organic Carbon and Organic Nitrogen. The data also show that a catalyst with certain amount of the metal (wt%) shows maximum efficiency in the oxidation; in addition, a catalyst with a different amount of metal gives good performance in producing high quality fertilizer.
