hydrogen peroxide water treatment



In theory hydrogen peroxide should oxidize organic compounds in water to CO2
and H20, but would like to know what conditions would be needed for this
to occur, ie temperature, time and peroxide concentration. I am looking at
treating some waste water that contains about 100 mg/L TOC , for reuse in
an industrial cooling tower. the organic components have a chlorine demand
of about 100 ppm, and we could just treat the water with excess hypochlorite
but then we have the problem of high chloride level and corrosion impacts.
I know activated sludge or bioreactor technologies would work but I am
looking for something a bit less capital intensive. Hydrogen peroxide seems
an inexpensive option.
