Abstract
Description
This paper is one of a series of papers describing applications of the catalyst to the removal of organics from waste water. Other papers are devoted to dye bath effluent from textile houses (e.g. William Baker). In this paper waste water from Kodak containing a concentrated mixture of organic and inorganic compounds was decomposed by the catalyst at room temperature by optimising the process conditions. It confirmed that the catalyst was not poisoned by other compounds present in “real” effluent again facilitating potential industrial take-up. Kodak is now moving to digital photographs reducing the need to treat waste water.
