Hydrothermal Processing Research in Supercritical Water for Environmental and Waste Minimisation studies. The aim is to use the knowledge of supercritical water chemistry and engineering background to conduct investigations that address commercial scale problems and existing challenges Improvement of reaction kinetics using supercritical fluid reaction media to eliminate undesired side reactions (such as coking) Isolation and purification of high value minority lipids from plants and edible oil refinery streams using supercritical CO2 Immobilised Enzyme biocatalyses for oleochemical reactions (modification of oils and triglycerides) Adsorption studies for various solid/liquid contact applications namely wastewater treatment, CO2 sequestration, and immobilisation studies
