Beschreibung
Discover the many new and emerging applications of supercriticalwater as a green solvent
Drawing from thousands of original research articles, this bookreviews and summarizes what is currently known about the propertiesand uses of supercritical water. In particular, it focuses on newand emerging applications of supercritical water as a greensolvent, including the catalytic conversion of biomass into fuelsand the oxidation of hazardous materials.
Supercritical Water begins with an introduction thatdefines supercritical fluids in general. It then definessupercritical water in particular, using the saturation curve toillustrate its relationship to regular water. Following thisintroduction, the book:
* Describes the bulk macroscopic properties of supercriticalwater, using equations of state to explaintemperature-pressure-density relationships
* Examines supercritical water's molecular properties, settingforth the latest experimental data as well as computer simulationsthat 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 phaseequilibria
* Sets forth the practical uses of supercritical water at bothsmall scales and full industrial scales
Throughout the book, the author uses tables for at-a-glancereviews of key information. Summaries at the end of each chapterreinforce core principles, and references to original research andreviews serve as a gateway and guide to the extensive literature inthe field.
Supercritical Water is written for students andprofessionals in physical chemistry, chemistry of water, chemicalengineering, and organic chemistry, interested in exploring theapplications and properties of supercritical water.
