Method of oxidation in a molten salt bath
Résumé
The invention relates to a method for upgrading waste comprising org. components in a bath of molten salt(s), comprising the following steps: supplying (1) to a reactor, at least one salt or a mixt. of salts comprising at least one alkali metal hydroxide; supplying (2) the waste to the reactor; heating (3) the reactor at a temp. above the m.p. of the salt. Thus, the salt supplied melts to form a liq. reaction medium, and induce an at least partial oxidn. (4) of the org. components. At least one compd. resulting from this oxidn. (4) is recovered (5). At least one alkali metal hydroxide comprises water of crystn., acting as oxidizing agent for the org. components in the reaction medium, so as to participate in a prodn. of dihydrogen, the latter being recovered (52) for the upgrading thereof.
