Abstract
Much research has been devoted to developing advanced oxidation technologies for destroying hazardous chemical wastes. The fundamental chemistry behind these processes has been studied extensively and is reasonably well understood; however, their scale-up from the bench to the pilot plant or field test is not a trivial exercise. Major engineering challenges exist in designing nonthermal industrial oxidation technologies that are cost-effective, robust, and versatile. One possible approach is to use existing technologies that have proven to be successful in industrial applications. The electrohydraulic discharge (EHD) method is a non-thermal process based on pulsed-power technology. EHD injects energy into an aqueous solution through a plasma channel formed by a high-current/high-voltage electrical discharge between two submersed electrodes. The paper describes system design, degradation experiments to elucidate the oxidation kinetics, EHD-ozone experiments, and energy efficiency.
