Kinetic study of organic wastes degradation in supercritical water Theory • Activated carbon treatments • Incineration • Wet oxidation • Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) Some wastewater treatment processes: • The reactivity of the supercritical water • system is consequence of: • Its low viscosity • Its high diffusivity • The water has the behavior of • a polar dissolvent, then is able of • dissolve the oxygen and organic • compounds (single phase) Critical point: T=374C P=221 atm Water
