Hydrogen peroxide and sodium chlorite 300 W for the treatment of sewage and sludge

Abstract

Sulphides, in particular hydrogen sulphide, not only possess an unpleasant odour and are toxic, but also cause acute corrosion damage to municipal sewage systems and plants. The hydrogen peroxide waste water deodorization system introduced by Degussa AG of Frankfurt am Main, Federal Republic of Germany, oxidizes hydrogen sulphide and other sulphides to counteract odours and corrosion, the residual oxygen also preventing the renewed formation of hydrogen sulphide. If temporary oxygen deficiency should occur during biological treatment, more oxygen can be added simply and rapidly in the form of hydrogen peroxide. These processes are easily controlled, involve little investment and offer the advantage that pure water and oxygen are the only product remaining from reactions involving hydrogen peroxide.
