A process for oxidizing a chemical contaminant selected from the group consisting of (i) aromatic compounds, (ii) unsaturated compounds having one or more of the following bonds: C═C, C≡C, C═O and C≡N, and (iii) amines, which process comprises combining the chemical contaminant and cuprous (Cu+) ions in an aqueous solution in a reaction vessel in an essentially oxygen-free environment, and subsequently feeding an oxidizer to said solution. |
