摘要 |
The present invention relates to a process for hydrothermal oxidation of organic compounds, optionally with oxidizable inorganic compounds, contained in an aqueous effluent, wherein said aqueous effluent is injected within a tubular reactor wherein the effluent is brought to a supercritical pressure and wherein the temperature of the effluent is gradually increased from its initial temperature up to a supercritical temperature, without any intermediate decrease in temperature, by introducing within said tubular reactor a sufficient amount of oxidizing agent for totally oxidizing the organic compounds and optionally for at least partly oxidizing oxidizable inorganic compounds, the oxidizing agent being introduced in a fractionated way in several points increasingly located downstream, and wherein the composition and/or the concentration of the organic compounds and/or oxidizable organic compounds within the effluent to be treated varies over time, and, upstream from the tubular reactor wherein oxidation is carried out, the TOD of the effluent to be treated is measured and monitored at a value of more than 120 g/L and of less than 250 g/L prior to its injection into the tubular reactor. |
