Sub- and Supercritical Hydrothermal Technology

<p><strong><em>Sub- and Supercritical Hydrothermal Technology: Industrial Applications</em></strong> offers a practical view of a variety of industrial applications and their challenges offering a deep understanding of the application of sub- and supercritical fluids and their techno-economic viability.</p><p>This book covers a wide range of applications of hydrothermal processing that result in almost zero waste high energy efficiency sustainable chemical processes and minimal impact over the life cycle. These applications include processing of hazardous waste bioproducts coal lipids heavy oil and bitumen and carbon materials. The use of hot-compressed water instead of different organic solvents such as methanol acetone and hexane is an environmentally benign green and sustainable option which can help to design chemical processes that support green chemistry and engineering.</p><p>This book is pertinent for researchers and professionals in the fields of chemical engineering industrial chemistry environmental engineering materials engineering and manufacturing.</p>
