Abstract
Disclosed is a method of oxidizing materials in the presence of an oxidant and water at supercritical temperatures to obtain useful energy and/or more desirable materials. Pressures between 25 and 220 bar are employed. The use of appropriately high temperatures results in a single fluid phase reactor, rapid reaction rates, high efficiency oxidation, and precipitation of inorganic materials.
