Abstract
A system for removing contaminants from a solution is provided. A supply tank holds the contaminated solution and a reactor containing a catalyst receives the contaminated solution from the supply tank and further receives hydrogen for reacting with the catalyst and contaminants for removal thereof. The system is applicable to both aqueous and non-aqueous streams contaminated with chlorinated hydrocarbon and the like. Furthermore, the hydrogen for the system may be produced in situ.
Claims9
A system for removing contaminants from a solution comprising:
- a device having a noble metal catalyst therein, the device further having a contaminated solution therein and further having hydrogen and electrodes for generating the hydrogen in situ from said contaminated solution to produce first vapor phase reactants;
- a reactor constructed and arranged to receive the first vapor phase reactants wherein the reactor oxidizes the first vapor phase reactants resulting in second vapor phase reactants;
- and
- a scrubber constructed and arranged to receive the second vapor phase reactants wherein the scrubber removes a portion of the second reactants.
