Over the last few decades, a number of innovative processes for treating organic waste have emerged, including hydrothermal oxidation processes, which are extremely effective in terms of versatility, efficiency and compactness. These processes enable mineralization in supercritical water, which is particularly well-suited to the treatment of refractory substances, hazardous or toxic organic substances present in isolation, industrial effluents or urban wastewater.
