Abstract

The 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) was oxidized in a continuous anti-corrosive supercritical water system. The variation of decomposition efficiency by the corrosion of zirconium 702 was also studied at the variation of feed concentration and reaction time. According to AES depth profile, the oxygen penetration depth to zirconium was not proportional to the exposure time. It might stem from the formation of zirconium oxide layer on the surface delaying the corrosion. However, the increase in feed concentration accelerated the corrosion of zirconium. The corrosion of zirconium at low feed concentration led to the improvement of decomposition efficiency due to the catalytic effect of formed zirconium oxides, while that at high feed concentration deteriorated the decomposition efficiency owing to large consumption of oxidant in corrosion.
