Supercritical reaction calorimetry: A novel route to supercritical fluid reaction monitoring

Thierry Meyer, Charalampos Mantelis, Frédéric Lavanchy

Supercrit. fluids (SCFs) were intensively studied in the last decade as alternative, environment-friendly benign reaction solvents. A new anal. technique was derived from a combination of classical heat flow reaction calorimetry and the supercrit. fluid te ...
