Abstract:
A super-critical reaction apparatus for processing a mixture phase, the mixture phase comprising an object matter to be processed and a medium in liquid form, by subjecting the mixture phase to a super-critical state of the medium, said super-critical reaction apparatus comprising:a reaction chamber of vertical cylindrical shape, said reaction chamber having an upper end, a lower end, and an interior section; a feed supply inlet located at said upper end of said reaction chamber, said feed supply inlet being operable to supply the mixture phase to said reaction chamber; a product outlet located at said lower end of said reaction chamber, said product outlet being operable to output the object matter and reaction products, wherein said reaction chamber comprises a double-walled cylinder having an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, an inside of said inner sleeve comprises a super-critical zone above and a sub-critical zone below, and wherein the object matter and the reaction products are progressed towards said lower end; and a thermal fluid passage provided in a space between said inner sleeve and said outer sleeve.
