Fenton Oxidation Of Amine Waste

Amine carry over is a commonly-discussed problem in gas plant utilizing amine as a
medium to obliterate acid gases from the incoming gas stream. Amine carry over will
potentially end up in the effluent water thus, if improperly discharge will pollute the
environment. Mixture of water with high amine concentration will resort to high
chemical oxygen demand value, which is a direct and almost accurate measure of
contaminants in water . The higher the COD value, the higher the concentration of
contaminants in water. Mixture of amine with water is a tenacious and well mixed
mixture, hence, to separate themis a challenge. Thisprojectis doneto study the COD
value reduction of amine waste using Fenton reagent. The parameters that are studied
are the effect of Ferum as the catalyst and also the optimum Fe : H202 which will
give a higher COD value reduction.
