Discover the many new and emerging applications of supercritical
water as a green solvent
Drawing from thousands of original research articles, this book
reviews and summarizes what is currently known about the properties
and uses of supercritical water. In particular, it focuses on new
and emerging applications of supercritical water as a green
solvent, including the catalytic conversion of biomass into fuels
and the oxidation of hazardous materials.
"Supercritical Water" begins with an introduction that defines
supercritical fluids in general. It then defines supercritical
water in particular, using the saturation curve to illustrate its
relationship to regular water. Following this introduction, the
book:
Describes the bulk macroscopic properties of supercritical
water, using equations of state to explain
temperature-pressure-density relationships
Examines supercritical water's molecular properties, setting
forth the latest experimental data as well as computer simulations
that shed new light on structure and dynamics
Explores the solubilities of gases, organic substances, salts,
and ions in supercritical water in terms of the relevant phase
equilibria
Sets forth the practical uses of supercritical water at both
small scales and full industrial scales
Throughout the book, the author uses tables for at-a-glance
reviews of key information. Summaries at the end of each chapter
reinforce core principles, and references to original research and
reviews serve as a gateway and guide to the extensive literature in
the field.
"Supercritical Water" is written for students and professionals
in physical chemistry, chemistry of water, chemical engineering,
and organic chemistry, interested in exploring the applications and
properties of supercritical water.
