- low boiler mixed solvents(Boiling point < 100 C) like MeOH, Ethyal Acetate, IPA,MDC, Acetone, THF,EDC,n-Hexane ,Acetonitrile etc.
- Water solble Organics+ Inorganics which are coming from either excess raw material or by products of the reactions .
- High boiler solvents like Toluene, DMF, DMSO etc. (Boiling point > 100 C).
- Reverse osmosis plant reject stream with arround 25000-35000 ppm Total Dissolved Solids.

Hi, Dave,
Even with the oxidizing agents listed could not solve the residual matter problems because the solvents and inorganic matters are not so reactive. Organic materials which contains chlorine or sulfur in the molecule shall be collected separately, incinerated and recovered as hydrochloric acid solution and sulfate salts respectively. The other mixed solvents with residual organic matters could be incinerated together with residual water in the mixture.
Sticky wet cakes from the ATFD would be troublesome making frequent shut-downs. I recommend, drawing it off as <slurry> rather than as <sticky cake> from the film dryer, and mix the slurry with <complete dry powder> of the cake itself, then dry in a separate dryer completely. The <amount of the dry cake> to be mixed would be "critical" to solve your problem. Some try-and-error might be required.
ZD (zero discharge) would commence from each specific source of wastes. No valuable material could be recovered economically from "hodgepodge".
