Oxidation of mixtures of organic compounds with hypochlorite ion source materials

摘要

An aqueous mixture of pH from neutral to alkaline and temperature from 70 DEG C. to about 100 DEG C. containing different oxidizable organic species which are most favorably oxidized individually with hypochlorite ions at different pH values is contacted with a hypochlorite ion source for a sufficient period of time to oxidize a substantial portion of said organic species.
