    Abstract: PROCESS FOR THE PURIFICATION OF WASTE WATER The waste water being formed upon the preparation of hydroxy aromatics, preferably of resorcinol and .beta.-naphthol, by caustic alkaline melt of the corresponding aryl-sulfonic acids or aryl sulfonates is purified by a wet oxidation with oxygen or oxygen-containing gases at temperatures of from about 100 to 370.degree.C and under a pressure of from about 1 to 300 bar. The CODdecomposition rates amount to about 90% and more. This process provides a sulfate, especially sodium sulfate, which is sufficiently pure for further use without complementary purification stages, if the hydroxy aromatics are prepared by means of a caustic soda melt. The obtention of the pure salt is important for the economy of the process.
