4.2 The Basic Principle of Supercritical Water
The experiments conducted by Modell and Amin, to convert carbohydrates in
supercritical water at Massachusetts in the mid of 1970s, encourage the development
of this technology across the global laboratories [36]. The general basics of supercritical water are depicted in Fig. 10.
