Abstract
Oxidation of some toxic organic compounds in supercritical water is in vestigated in the presence of a solid catalyst in an isothermal plug f low fixed-bed reactor. Comparison between catalyzed and noncatalyzed o xidations indicates that the conversions are much higher when the cata lyst is present. It is also found that the heterogeneous oxidation rou te forms less intermediate products during the decomposition of organi cs such as benzoic acid and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone in carbon dioxide.
