I'd like to replace the Environmental technology template with one that matches the standard navbox style, i.e. horizontal instead of vertical, collapsing and typically placed at the bottom of article pages. I've done a mock up of what this would look like at {{User:Jwanders/ET}}. Figured this was a big enough change that I should post before going ahead with it. Please discuss here--jwandersTalk 22:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
External links modified
[edit]Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Wet oxidation. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
- Added archive https://web.archive.org/20080829154141/http://www.water.siemens.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/Product_Lines/Zimpro/Brochures/IT3%202002%20WAO%20history%20paper.pdf to http://www.water.siemens.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/Product_Lines/Zimpro/Brochures/IT3%202002%20WAO%20history%20paper.pdf
- Added archive https://web.archive.org/20080906100257/http://www.water.siemens.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/Product_Lines/Zimpro/Brochures/Improvement%20of%20Industrial%20Sysnthesis%20by%20Methly%20Methacrylate.pdf to http://www.water.siemens.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/Product_Lines/Zimpro/Brochures/Improvement%20of%20Industrial%20Sysnthesis%20by%20Methly%20Methacrylate.pdf
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Chemistry
[edit]Wet oxidation is a form of hydrothermal treatment. It is the oxidation of dissolved or suspended components in water using oxygen as the oxidizer. It is referred to as "Wet Air Oxidation" (WAO) when air is used. The oxidation reactions occur in superheated water at a temperature above the normal boiling point of water (100 °C), but below the critical point (374 °C).
The system must be maintained under pressure to avoid excessive evaporation of water. This is done to control energy consumption due to the latent heat of vaporization. It is also done because liquid water is necessary for most of the oxidation reactions to occur. Compounds oxidize under wet oxidation conditions that would not oxidize under dry conditions at the same temperature and pressure.
Wet oxidation has been used commercially for around 60 years. It is used predominantly for treating wastewater. It is often referred to as Zimpro (from ZIMmerman PROcess), after Fred J. Zimmermann who commercialized it in the mid 20th century.[1] 37.111.134.194 (talk) 08:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
