From page 137...
... Many of these technologies, even the ox~dative ones, produce gaseous waste streams that would require further oxidation in some form of afterburner. The technologies examined here can be grouped in the following categories: Moderate-temperature, high-pressure processes: Wet air and supercr~tical water oxidation are processes that occur in water at moderate temperatures and high pressures.
