A system and process are provided for treatment of cyanide-containing waste to form a substantially detoxified reaction product. The system comprises a reaction vessel (12), a heat exchange conduit (14) extending through the reaction vessel to provide a flow path for heat exchange fluid, a heating loop (16) for circulating heat exchange fluid through the heat exchange conduit at a temperature sufficient to initiate hydrolysis of cyanides in cyanide-containing waste to form the substantially detoxified reaction product, a cooling loop (18) for circulating heat exchange fluid through the heat exchange conduit at a temperature sufficient to cool the substantially detoxified reaction product to a discharge temperature, and an apparatus (20) for diverting flow of heat exchange fluid from the heating loop to the cooling loop. |
