Popis: Supercritical water (SCW) benzene oxidation data were modeled using a published, low-pressure ( 220 bar) conditions, new reaction pathways were added, and quantum Rice−Ramsperger−Kassel theory was used to calculate the rate coefficients and, hence, product selectivities for pressure dependent reactions. The most important difference between the benzene oxidation mechanism for SCW conditions and those for combustion conditions is reactions in SCW involving C6H5OO predicted to be formed by C6H5 reacting with O2. Through the adjustment of the rate coefficients of two thermal decomposition pathways of C6H5OO, whose values are unknown, the model accurately predicts the measured benzene and phenol concentration profiles at 813 K (540 °C), 246 bar, stoichiometric oxygen, and 3...
