Abstract

See full text

A two-stage wet oxidation process for COD removal from high strength wastewater is disclosed. The wastewater stream is treated in a first stage subcritical wet oxidation zone at temperatures between about 250.degree. and 374.degree. C. to remove a substantial portion of the COD. Subsequently, all or a portion of the first stage oxidized waste stream is treated in a second stage supercritical wet oxidation zone at temperatures of 374.degree. to about 600.degree. C. to remove any remaining COD content. Both stages of wet oxidation treatment are carried out at essentially the same system pressure.
