Driven by rising pollution levels, there is an increasing demand
for clean technologies that can effectively eliminate waste and produce
harmless by-products. Traditional treatment methods are inadequate for
eliminating complex organic and chemical industrial waste. Two viable
alternatives are incineration and hydrothermal oxidation in supercritical conditions.
Incineration is effective in removing hazardous waste but has notable
drawbacks, including unwanted emissions and high operational costs. On the
other hand, supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) is seen as an environmentally
friendly technology for destroying organic waste, achieving a removal
efficiency of 99.99% in a brief period. This chapter highlights the treatment
of organic waste using SCWO, focusing on the use of co-fuels and catalysts to
enhance its efficiency. Detailed analysis provides essential information for
researchers and engineers aiming to use SCWO for the efficient and safe
treatment of organic contaminants. Additionally, this chapter explores the
current industrial applications of SCWO, examining technological advancements
made by various companies developing full-scale SCWO facilities.
