| Abstract | The present invention relates to an improved process for the wet oxidation of water soluble organic pollut ants or of an aqueous suspension of organic pollutants. In the contacting of an oxidizing gas and a polluted aqueous phase, the improvement comprises forming a fine mist of the polluted aqueous phase in the presence of the oxidizing gas, thereby increasing the interfacial area between the gas and the polluted aqueous phase. Then the formed mist is introduced into a heated reac tion chamber under pressure, thereby enhancing the rate of the destructive oxidation of the organic pollutant by the increase in mass transfer between the gaseous phase and the aqueous mist, the reaction temperature being selected to favor rapid destruction of the pollut ant without the formation of stable intermediate reac tion products. After destruction of the pollutants, the reaction mixture is allowed to flash off at a pressure lower than the reaction pressure. |
