Abstract:
A method for treating a first stream comprising oxidizable material, a salt and water in a reactor at a temperature of at least about 700.degree. F. (about 370.degree. C.) and a pressure of at least about 3200 psia (about 220 bar), comprising:mixing the first stream with a second stream upstream from the reactor to form a mixed stream, wherein the second stream is at a pressure of at least about 3200 psia (about 220 bar) and a temperature of at least about 700.degree. F. (about 370.degree. C.), wherein the first stream is at a pressure and temperature such that the salt in the first stream remains substantially dissolved within the first stream, and wherein the mixed stream is at a temperature of at least about 700.degree. F. (about 370.degree. C.) and a pressure of at least about 3200 psia (about 220 bar);adding an oxidizer to the mixed stream before introducing the mixed stream into the reactor;introducing the mixed stream into the reactor; andreacting at least a portion of the oxidizable material in the reactor.
