Özet

A method for removal of cyanides from water is described. The method involves the air oxidation of cyanides in a fixed bed reactor with cocurrent downflow. Effects of parameters such as temperature, concentration, gas and liquid flow rates on the oxidation yield are studied. It was observed that the yield increases by increasing temperature and decreasing gas and liquid flow rates. Altering the concentration had no clear effect on the yield. A yield of 86% was achieved at high temperature (60 degreesC) while the maximum yield was 68% at room temperature.
