Abstract

Gases are dissolved in aqueous liquids and sludges by employing the preliminary step of subjecting the liquids to a reduced pressure to remove incidental gases dissolved or contained therein, and then dissolving the required gases therein. The invention is of particular utility in the oxidative treatment of surface waters, waste waters or sewage, in which the latter are first de-gassed before being oxygenated. The degassing can be effected by, for example, using a siphon.
