A system and process for oxidizing inorganic or organic species is disclosed.
The
system and process includes feeding a dilute aqueous alkali metal halite solution
into a cation exchange column, wherein the cation exchange column contains a cation
exchange material; contacting the dilute aqueous alkali metal halite solution with
the cation exchange material to produce an effluent containing halous acid; feeding
the effluent containing halous acid into a catalytic reactor containing a catalytic
material; and contacting the halous acid containing effluent with the catalytic
material to produce a halogen oxide.
