Super critical water oxidation has been a benchtop process for quite a long time. As far as I’m aware they pretty much only use it for dealing with super toxic sludge these days, presumably because it’s too expensive to use for anything else.

It can burn just about anything which is why it’s difficult to get the ceramic pressure vessel right. Wondering if this will do anything to improve the situation.
