Oxidation of hydrocarbons and oxygenates in supercritical water

Modeling and simulation of hydrothermal oxidation of organic compounds

“…Because the experimental device can provide temperature profile only, we have chosen this particular state variable to make the comparison between experiments and simulations. Figure 5 shows this comparison in the case of references15–17, while Figure 6 shows this comparison with the results of Mateos et al14…”

“…This conclusion should, however, be moderated in the case of Webley et al,17 where the high value of the activation energy given by Webley and Tester seems to be too high for ignition of the reaction to occur. To a lower extent, the value of the kinetics parameter published by Rofer and Streit16 does not allow for a good prediction of the temperature profile near the first injection point. However, their parameters seem to give better results near the third injection.…”

“…Table 3 summarizes some of the data (in terms of energy of activation, E a , as well as pre‐exponential factor, k 0 ) available from literature 14–17. The authors publish their kinetics results with a range of uncertainty.…”

Feasibility study: Application of the geopressured-geothermal resource to pyrolytic conversion or decomposition/detoxification processes

“…, 1988) have been pioneers in the area. Other workers have included Rofer and G. Streit (Rofer, 1987 and1990; Rofer and Streit, 1989) and W. Killilea and collaborators (Staszak et a l . ;Malinowski and Killilea, 1987).…”
