Other technologies that may compete with it, such as titanium dioxide catalytic photo-oxidation and systems using Fenton's reagents, have problems: incomplete oxidation, the use of expensive ligands and oxidants, and catalyst recovery difficulties. The total reaction process of this catalytic oxidation process. CO is oxidized with O2 to CO2 while allowing water to generate hydrogen. H2 and O2 are then catalyzed by Pd to produce hydrogen peroxide, and finally H2O2 is used to oxidize the substrate. This method has been used to test several types of organic compounds, including benzene, substituted phenols, organic nitrogen compounds and organic halogen compounds, organic phosphorus and organic sulfur compounds.

In each experiment, these organic compounds were deeply oxidized and converted to CO, CO2, and H2O. The destruction rate after 24 hours was above 95%. This method has so far only passed a small test in the laboratory. New Method for Disposal of Waste PVC The European PVC Manufacturers Association invested US$3 million to construct an empirical device for the empirical testing of waste polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gasification into hydrogen chloride and syngas. The 2000t/a test unit is scheduled to start in mid-2000 and will use the "slag bath" technology developed by Germany's Linde-KCA-Dresden. The Solvay company in Belgium will be responsible for the operation of the gasification plant in the Tavol plant in France. The Linde process first delivers the crushed PVC together with oxygen and sand or water vapor or both (depending on the production conditions) into the reactor with 1400-1600°C slag mainly consisting of silicates making PVC break down.

The organic components of PVC are converted into H2, CO, CO2, and HCl gases. HCl is absorbed by water and the solution is distilled to produce HCl gas suitable for oxychlorination. Syngas can be used as a feedstock for chemical production, such as for the production of methanol or as a fuel for power generation. Calcium carbonate and other inorganic components in PVC react with silicates to form slag. Excess slag is sent to the water bath where it forms stable small particles.
