Flow Reactor Studies of the Reaction Chemistry of Biopoly- mers and Related Model Compounds in Supercritical Fluids

本研究的目标是(1)完成复杂生物聚合物模型化合物(如葡萄糖和蔗糖)在超临界水和其他超临界溶剂中的反应化学研究；(2)将超临界流体中均解的研究扩展到500℃以上。流动反应器被设计为一个理想的推流反应器；因此，研究停留时间、温度、压力、溶剂介质和催化剂对反应产物的影响，可以作为反应化学的动力学数据和机理理解的来源。

The objectives of this research are (1) to complete studies of the reaction chemistry of complex biopolymer model compounds (such as glucose and sucrose) in supercritical water and other supercritical solvents, (2) to extend the studies of homolysis in supercritical fluids to temperatures greater than 500o C. The flow reactor has been designed to function as an ideal plug flow reactor; thus studies of the influence of residence time, temperature, pressure, solvent media, and catalysts on the reaction products can serve as a source for both kinetic data and mechanistic understanding of the reaction chemistry.
