1. A process for wet oxidation of a feedstock comprising at least one non-volatile oxidisable material, which process includes at least the steps of:

  • (a) continuously introducing the feedstock into a reactor;

    (b) contacting the feedstock at temperature and pressure with an oxidant in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst to produce a vapour phase comprising at least some oxidation products and a liquid phase; and

    (c) continuously removing at least some of the vapour phase comprising at least some oxidation products from the reactor while retaining the liquid phase in the reactor, wherein the vapour phase is removed from the reactor by flash vaporization.
