Abstract
Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) is a powerful green technology to treat hazardous wastewaters. This process has been extensively studied for decades from laboratory scale studies of model compounds to several demonstration and industrial plants under construction worldwide. However, SCWO treatments at pilot plant scale of real wastewaters are much less extensive in literature. Furthermore, the application of this technology to industrial wastewaters has two main drawbacks such as corrosion and salt deposition, and some other problems to be solved related to management of biphasic wastes, presence of suspended solids, high costs, etc.; and therefore, currently, the industrial scale-up and commercialization of this process is still subject to difficulties.
