Abstract
Supercritical water (SCW) has emerged as an environmentally friendly reaction medium for efficiently transforming organic substances. Two key processes utilizing SCW are supercritical water gasification (SCWG) and supercritical water oxidation (SCWO), which offer efficient conversion of organic materials into useful gaseous products and harmless byproducts, respectively. SCWG involves the transforming organic substances into combustible gaseous products, which can be utilized for energy generation. Conversely, SCWO focuses on the oxidation of organic compounds, leading to the formation of innocuous byproducts. Both SCWG and SCWO processes can incorporate catalysts to enhance reaction efficiency and selectivity. The environment in a SCW process can vary based on the application or process stage, showing properties like reducing, oxidizing, nonionic, basic, acidic, or highly ionic. Modeling and simulation are crucial for understanding and optimizing SCWG and SCWO processes, guiding the design of efficient reactors for sustainable waste treatment and energy conversion.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry is published monthly in English by the Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. JIEC brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal and is to disseminate information on all aspects of research and development in industrial and engineering chemistry. Contributions in the form of research articles, short communications, notes and reviews are considered for publication. The editors welcome original contributions that have not been and are not to be published elsewhere. Instruction to authors and a manuscript submissions form are printed at the end of each issue. Bulk reprints of individual articles can be ordered. This publication is partially supported by Korea Research Foundation and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies.
