摘要:In this paper, catalytic wet oxidation is adopted to treat oilfield wastewater. Central composite design (CCD), an experimental design for response surface methodology (RSM), was used to create a set of 30 experimental runs needed for optimizing of the operating conditions. Temperature, catalyst quality, reaction time and oxidant dosage are examined factors. The experimental results show that catalytic wet oxidation could effectively reduce COD removal by 98.37%. Catalytic wet oxidation process is possibly suitable for a primary treatment for oilfield wastewater.
