- This paper shows for the first time that there is a way to revolutionise the process economics of supercritical water oxidation. The patented reactor in this paper was invented at UoN (WO2005077505A2) and is now assigned to Promethean Particles who use it to make and sell nanomaterials across the world (contact: James Stephenson). Since the nanocatalysts, generated in-situ, reduce the operating temperatures from 600oC to 350oC, the capital expenditure is reduced by an order of magnitude, and the nanomaterial by-products are sold to completely underwrite the operating cost of the process.
