Kinetics of Supercritical Water Oxidation-SERDP Compliance Technical Thrust Area
Abstract
This final report has two purposes. The first is to provide a single document that contains a description of this project's goals, activities, and accomplishments over the 8 year period of performance from January, 1993 to August, 2000. The second purpose is to provide an overview of the technical results that have been obtained and to submit a roadmap that identifies the publications and reports where the details of these technical results can be found. This report is not intended to republish the complete contents of the quarterly progress reports of the several dozen reviewed publications and Sandia reports that have resulted from this project. However, sufficient detail of the experimental and modeling results is included to illustrate the most important technical conclusions. Specifically, detailed results are presented here that answer the two fundamental questions that have motivated this work. They are: (1) what are the rate-controlling processes in the oxidation of a variety of organic compounds in supercritical water; and (2) how does this oxidation chemistry compare to combustion chemistry and, if so, can the same elementary reaction modeling approaches that have met with success.
