<p>In order to provide an oxidation method and a corresponding oxidation apparatus (100) which not only achieve high oxygen utilization efficiency but also offer enhanced rates of oxygen uptake, the following steps are proposed:
- withdrawing a volume of aqueous medium or of organic medium from an oxidation reactor (10), in particular in a periodic fashion;
- feeding oxygen to the withdrawn volume, in particular in order to achieve a desired concentration of oxygen and/or in particular substantially dissolving almost all gaseous oxygen;
- feeding the oxygen-enriched volume back to the oxidation reactor (10); and
- mixing the oxygen-enriched volume into, in particular the bulk of, an aqueous medium or into, in particular the bulk of, an organic medium in the oxidation reactor (10) and/or forming a circulation pattern within the oxidation reactor (10) whereby a higher concentration of oxygen is maintained in the aqueous medium or in the organic medium at the bottom of the oxidation reactor (10).</p> |
