<p>The problem of conducting chemical reactions at elevated temperatures and pressures, such as in the wet oxidation of a waste stream, without excessive expenditures of energy is solved by the method and apparatus for effecting accelerated chemical reactions utilizing a reactor (15) extending into a vertical hole (16) in the earth and having an outer flow passage (21) receiving influent fluid from a supply (38) and supply lines (31 and 33) pumped with air by a pressure pump (29). The fluid undergoes an accelerated oxidation in the hole giving off the products of reaction, heat, and an effluent fluid which flows up an inner flow passage (22) to a settling tank (41) and/or other discharge lines (44, 42). Apparatus for control of temperature, pressure and flow rate are also provided to maximize reaction rates and minimize power requirements. </p> |
