Solvation effects on kinetics of methylene chloride reactions in sub- and supercritical water: theory, experiment, and ab initio calculations

P. A. Marrone, T. A. Arias, W. A. Peters +1

The nature of the CH2Cl2 neutral/acidic hydrolysis reaction from ambient to supercritical conditions (25 C to 600 C at 246 bar) is explored. Of primary interest is the effect of th…
