Publisher's Synopsis
Presents an overview of supercritical fluid science and technology with emphasis on developments in solubility and modelling. Provides comprehensive coverage of current research, including molecular interactions and simulations, phase behaviour, chemical reactions in supercritical fluids, supercritical water oxidation, and forest products applications. Addresses various aspects of the supercritical water oxidation process, including fundamental kinetics and modelling, simulations of hydrogen bonding and solvation, catalysis, use of unconventional oxidants, corrosion issues, reactor design and simulation, and applications. Includes a new technique for the rapid and accurate mapping of critical curve phase boundaries.
