Abstract
Catalytic wet oxidation of an aqueous waste stream, obtained after rec overy of Na2SO4 and butyric acid, valeric acid and caproic acid (BVC a cids) from a cyclohexane oxidation unit, was carried out at elevated t emperature and pressure to detoxify the waste stream with regard to CO D to meet local discharge standards. The possibilities for recovery of Na2SO4 and C-2-C-6 carboxylic acids were also explored.
