TL;DR: Supercritical water hydrolysis has advantages as follows: it dechlorinates pure PCBs rapidly and completely, it realizes the selective dechlorination of dilute PCBs in transformer oil without thermal deterioration of the oil, and it can reduce corrosion problems by neutralizing the product of hydrogen chloride as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homogeneous Catalysis in Liquefied Gas. Complex-Catalyzed Selective and Direct Conversion of Propane to Butanal at Room Temperature
TL;DR: In this article, a homogeneous catalysis in liquefied gas is proposed to functionalize gaseous alkanes selectively; upon illumination, RhCl(CO)(PMe3)2 catalyzes carbonylation of liquefified propane at room temperature to produce butanal with high regioselectivity.

Method of decomposing polychlorobiphenyls
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of decomposing polychlorobiphenyl compound-containing material into an unharmful state was proposed, where the material was treated with a supercritical water containing an alkaline substance at a temperature higher than the critical temperature of water and a pressure higher than critical pressure of water.

Method for detoxicate polychlorinated biphenyl by supercritical water
TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction pressure is adjusted in accordance with the weight of water filled in the reactor, and the reaction time is controlled to 5-60min, which is not needed to make polychlorinated biphenyl harmless.
