The carbon supported catalysts, Pd/C and Pt/C, are the very important chemical catalysts. The incineration technology is the most simple method for the recovery of platinum or palladium from the waste catalysts. The processes and technologies to prevent the loss of flying-ash during burning were introduced and some examples were listed. The principle of supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) and its technical processes were discussed, and its application prospect was reviewed.
