SUB-CRITICAL OXIDATIVE PROCESSES

摘要

The invention relates to sub-critical processes and systems for accomplishing the same. In one aspect, the process is a sub-critical oxidation process for the destruction of organic and inorganic contaminates within a waste fluid or gas. The sub-critical processes are preferably carried out in a reactor (200) and/or continuous flow centrifuge (202) operating at sub-critical temperature and pressure. The processes and systems provide for destruction of high levels of organic and inorganic contaminates within a contaminate source, which represents a vast improvement over other conventional approaches. The processes and systems also accomplish this superior destruction of contaminates in a much faster time frame, i.e., minutes as compared to hours. Finally, the processes and systems described herein provide a safe and highly economical sub-critical approach as compared to the super-critical conditions, i.e., exceeding high temperatures and pressures, used in most conventional approaches.
