Abstract
A method of oxidizing an organic material in an oxidizer includes forming a mixture of the organic material with water and a fluid including oxygen under conditions near supercritical pressure. At the inlet of the oxidizer, the mixture is caused to undergo reaction under supercritical conditions for water, characterized by a temperature of at least about 400.degree. C. and a pressure of at least about 220 atmospheres in the oxidizer.
