Corrosion Behavior of Nickel-Based Alloys in Supercritical Water Oxidation Systems

There is a need to destroy both military and civilian hazardous waste and an urgency, mandated by public concern over traditional waste handling methodologies, to identify safe and efficient alternative technologies. One very effective process for the destruction of such waste is supercritical water oxidation (SCWO). By capitalizing on the properties of water above its critical point (374 °C and 22.4 MPa for pure water), this technology provides...
