Conventionally, the treatment of harmful organic substances has been carried out by a combustion method. However, in this combustion method, it is not possible to ignore that a low-temperature portion may be present in the furnace, and it is not possible to decompose partially due to insufficient combustion. May be sufficient. In such a case, for example, if a chlorine compound or the like is to be decomposed, there is a risk that a highly toxic substance such as dioxin may be generated. In addition, since the final product of the combustion method is usually diffused from the exhaust stack to the atmosphere, if the toxic substance is generated, the problem may be widened.

[0009] Vessel-type reactors are problematic in tubular (pipe-type) reactors, which are considered advantageous due to their simple structure.
That is, it has been proposed to solve a problem when an organic waste liquid containing an inorganic salt or generating an inorganic salt after the reaction is to be decomposed. In other words, the objects to be treated with hardly decomposable organic substances and harmful organic substances often contain chlorine and sulfur, as well as nitrogen and phosphorus. , Sulfuric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid), it is conceivable to neutralize with an alkali to protect the reactor materials and the like from the acid, and as a result, an inorganic salt (typically NaCl) is generated. However, it is known that this salt hardly dissolves in supercritical water. Therefore, in the pipe type reactor, a problem of pipe clogging always occurs due to salt generated by neutralization. Therefore, in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-500264, a reactor devised so as not to cause a plugging problem due to a salt generated by an operation of acid neutralization, specifically, a tubular reactor is installed in a vertical type to be a vessel type. At the same time, a supercritical zone is formed in the upper part of the vessel and a subcritical zone is formed in the lower part of the vessel, and the inorganic salt precipitated in the upper supercritical zone is moved downward by a density difference, and the subcritical zone is formed in the subcritical zone. By dissolving in water, supercritical water and CO 2 , which are the majority of the products generated by the supercritical water oxidation reaction, and salts that cause adhesion and blockage can be separated in the vessel. Make up the configuration.

[0011] By the way, when the actual operation is carried out on an industrial scale apparatus, it is usually affected by various conditions fluctuations, and the processing is always carried out under ideal conditions in which the conditions for decomposition are always prepared. It is not done. For example, at the time of starting the apparatus, it is necessary to raise the temperature in the reactor to a temperature not lower than the critical temperature (374 ° C.) of water suitable for complete oxidative decomposition of the organic substance to be decomposed. It is not possible to say that the basic conditions are in place.

As a method for raising the temperature in the reactor, a method of heating using a heating means such as an electric heater, and a method of raising the temperature by heat generated by oxidative decomposition of the organic substance to be decomposed can be considered. However, in the former, the method of directly heating the reactor is possible in a small-scale apparatus at a laboratory level, but is not realistic in a large-scale apparatus on an industrial scale. In addition, the indirect method of heating the supplied material also has a problem that, for example, heating the organic matter to be decomposed to a high temperature may cause blockage and charring of the pipe due to polymerization or the like. Heating an organic substance requires a large amount of extremely high-temperature supercritical water, which is similarly unsuitable for an industrial-scale apparatus, and is difficult to put into practical use from the viewpoint of energy cost.

In the latter method of raising the temperature utilizing the heat generated by the organic substance, it is inevitable that there is a temperature raising step in which ideal conditions are not established during the temperature increase due to the heat generated by the organic substance to be decomposed. In order to reduce this problem, it is conceivable to reduce the time by supplying a strong oxidizing agent during the heating process. And the possibility that this is discharged out of the system is theoretically unavoidable.

Further, when the apparatus is stopped, the heat generated by the oxidative decomposition is rapidly reduced by stopping the supply of the organic substance to be decomposed, and the conditions for oxidatively decomposing the organic substance to be decomposed at the final stage of the supply with the cooling of the apparatus. May appear, and the undecomposed products and by-products may be discharged out of the system.

Therefore, in the method of supplying organic substances to be decomposed from the initial stage of startup, a heating means such as a powerful electric heater is required to heat the organic substances to a temperature at which they are completely decomposed in the reactor, or decomposed by mixing with supercritical water. It is possible to avoid a large burden on industrial-scale implementation equipment, such as an extremely high temperature and a large amount of supercritical water required to raise the temperature of the target organic substance. In addition, by using an organic compound having no harmfulness as the organic material for raising the temperature at the time of startup, undecomposed products and by-products are temporarily discharged out of the system due to an insufficient state in which conditions are not satisfied in the initial stage of startup. And no environmental pollution problems.

Therefore, the use of a heating device such as an electric heater to maintain a high temperature state, and the burden of supplying a large amount of supercritical water at a high temperature can be reduced or omitted,
It is possible to reduce the load on the equipment of an industrial scale device and to reduce the operating cost.
