The important properties of supercritical solutions are directly related to the structure of these solutions at a molecular scale. This project aims to measure the microstructure of dilute supercritical solutions directly by x-ray and neutron scattering for comparison with theory. Surfactant solutions in supercritical CO 2 are the current focus of study. The approach has been numerical solution of the inhomogeneous Ornstein-Zernike equation.
Supercritical water is used as a medium for oxidation of hazardous chemical wastes.
The aim of this work is to understand the behavior of solutes particularly inorganic solutes in supercritical water. The approach in this work is molecular simulation. Address comments to our Webmaster .
