Wet oxidation is the oxidation of soluble or suspended components in water using oxygen as the oxidizing agent. When air is used as the source of oxygen the process is referred to as wet air oxidation (WAO). The oxidation reactions occur at temperatures of 150º C to 320º C (275º F to 608º F) and pressures from 10 to 220 barg (150 to 3200 psig).
The wet oxidation process can pretreat difficult wastewater streams, making them amenable for discharge to a conventional biological treatment plant for polishing. The process is also used for oxidation of contaminants in production liquors for recycle/reuse.

The process of iron and oxygen reacting is called oxidation which is rust in common words, wet oxidation is the process of iron getting oxidized when in contact with water usually sea water

good job listing ur sources...that answer sounds like it came right off the top of ur head. i mean everybody has oxidation temperatures stored in their head just like we know 32 degrees is freezing. give props when u obtain knowledge from another source
