20021 Reactions in Near Critical and Supercritical Fluids I
OverviewPapers that address new experimental and theoretical investigations of reactions (or reactive processing) in supercritical fluid (SCF) media or gas-expanded liquids in the vicinity of their critical points are solicited. Some areas of interest are homogeneous catalytic reactions with SCF soluble ligands, heterogeneous catalysis, biphasic systems involving supercritical fluids, innovative reaction/separation schemes which take advantage of the variable solvent power of SCFs, and applications of expanded solvents.
