Kinetic studies of methanol oxidation in supercritical water and carbon dioxide

摘要

As is shown by working groups all over the world, supercritical water oxidation is a promising technoogy for the complete oxidation of aqueous hazardous waste from different sources, such as aqueous waste from the pharmaceutical and chemical industries [1,2]. The function of the reaction medium supercritical water during oxidation, however, is not well understood.
