Extraction and Destruction of Waste with Supercritical Water

  • Chapter
Supercritical Fluids

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 273))

Abstract

Oxidation in supercritical water is fast and can be led to total oxidation of the organic compounds. Products are confined to a controllable space. Supercritical water has been proven to be an excellent solvent for removing organic compounds from soil material for analytical as well as for processing purposes. The extraction of mineral oil fractions and PCB from soil material with supercritical water has been found to be effective, even without oxygen. Effluents are biologically degradable.
