Abstract
Application of Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) to processing of human metabolic wastes of Controlled Ecological Life Support System was studied for organic substance elimination in urine and recover potable water. The SCWO of simulated urine was investigated with oxygen as the oxidant at 400 approx. 500°C and 24 approx. 30 MPa in a continuous flow reactor. The organic substance elimination efficiency was obviously effected by temperature, pressure and reaction time. It is lower than 10% at 400°C, but more than 95% at 550°C with reaction time of 2 min.
