Method and apparatus for effecting subsurface, controlled, accelerated chemical reactions.

摘要: The problem of conducting chemical reactions at elevated temperatures and pressures, such as in the wet oxidation a waste stream, without excessive expenditures energy is solved by method apparatus for effecting accelerated utilizing reactor (15) extending into vertical hole (16) earth having an outer flow passage (21) receiving influent fluid from supply (38) lines (31 33) pumped with air pressure pump (29). undergoes giving off products reaction, heat, effluent which flows up inner (22) to settling tank (41) and/or other discharge (44, 42). Apparatus control temperature, rate are also provided maximize reaction rates minimize power requirements.
