Editor: Haizhou Liu-CHAZL Urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin residues and the related product wastes as organic hazardous wastes are difficult
to be biodegraded or recycled. In this research, a hydrothermal oxidation method using hydrogen peroxide

Harmless disposal ment or acid hydrolysis method. In addition, results from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gas
chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC–MS), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and X-ray
diffraction (XRD) confirmed that H2O2 solution degrades UF resin residues to low molecular compounds, such as
alcohols, methylal, and amides. This research provides a novel and high-efficient hydrothermal oxidization
process for the degradation of UF resin residues, which might be a promising environmentally friendly and low-
cost method for the disposal and recycling of industrial UF resin residues.
