Abstract:
There are provided processes for treating a residual. For example, such processes can comprise treating a mixture comprising the residual, a peracid or source thereof and an ammonium salt in a reactor, with an electric field, by means of at least one anode and at least one cathode that define therebetween an electrokinetic zone for treating the mixture. Such processes allow for inactivation of at least one type of pathogen in the residual so as to obtain a treated residual.

Claim (Index 1):
A process for treating a residual, said process comprising:\n preparing a mixture by adding: a peracid or source thereof; and an ammonium salt to the residual, the ratio of the peracid or source thereof to the ammonium salt being 0.1 g/g to 5 g/g and the peracid or source thereof and ammonium salt being added to the residual at less than 40 g peracid or source thereof and ammonium salt per liter of the residual, said mixture having a pH above 9; and treating the mixture in a reactor with an electric field, wherein the electric field is a direct current electric field and the voltage gradient of the direct current electric field is less than 8 V/cm, by means of at least one anode and at least one cathode that define therebetween an electrokinetic zone for treating the mixture so as to cause an exothermic reaction, wherein the mixture is treated at a temperature of 70\u00b0 C. to 99\u00b0 C. for a time of 0.5 hours to 4 hours; thereby allowing for inactivation of least one type of pathogen selected from a virus, a bacteria, a spore, an ova or a mixture thereof in the residual, so as to obtain a treated residual.
