Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) is an emerging technology for the ultimate destruction of organic wastes. Organic compounds and oxygen can be intimately mixed in a single homogeneous aqueous phase at supercritical conditions (T{sub c} = 374{degrees}C, P{sub C} = 218 atm). Thus, the rapid oxidation reactions are unhindered by inter-phase transport limitations that could occur at subcritical conditions where multiple phases exist. Savage et al. describe current research into SCWO reactions in their review of reactions at supercritical conditions. The rational design, optimization, control, and analysis of SCWO processes requires a knowledge of SCWO kinetics and potential byproducts formed from the oxidation of real pollutants. Our research group has focused on the oxidation of phenolic compounds, and this presentation will provide an overview of our most recent work.
