CONTINUOUS PROCESS FOR WET OXIDATION OF AQUEOUS WASTE LIQUORS

摘要

WET OXIDATION PROCESS UTILIZING DILUTION OF OXYGEN A continuous process for wet oxidation of aqueous waste liquors using oxygen gas is made safer by injecting an inert gas into the waste liquors at a rate such that oxygen in the gas phase is diluted by the sum of generated water vapor, produced carbon dioxide and injected inert gas to a concentration less than required for spontaneous combustion at every location in the wet oxidation system comprising a reactor, effluent line, pressure control valve and separator, having surfaces not continually exposed to a continuous liquid water phase.
