What is A Reaction Network Model for Phenol Oxidation in Supercritical Water about?

Dilute aqueous solutions of phenol were oxidized in a flow reactor at 420, 440, 460 and 480°C at 250 atm. Phenol disappearance kinetics followed the trends exhibited by previously published data obtained at T < 420°C. By merging the two sets of data, a global rate law for phenol disappearance kinetics valid between 380 and 480°C was determined to be rate = 102.34 exp( -12.4/RT)~~OH]o~85[02]o~50[H2010~42. Undesired multiring products, whose formation was reported previously at the lower temperatures, continued to form in high selectivities at these higher temperatures. Reaction products were classified into three categories: dimers, gases, and a remainder that iizcluded products from ring-opening reactions. A global reaction network that describes the transformation of phenol into these product groups was developed. Steps in the network are: parallel oxidation paths for phenol that form dimers and ring-opening and other products, secondaiy decomposition of dimers to ring-opening and other products, and oxidation of the ring-opening and other products to carbon oxides. The experimental product yields were used to determine optimal values for the reaction orders and rate constants for
