title: Innovation in a chemical reaction process using a supercritical water microreaction system: environmentally friendly production of epsilon-caprolactam.
abstract: Our microreaction system using supercritical water solutions achieves nearly 100% yield and 100% selectivity for epsilon-caprolactam production at reaction times shorter than 1 s.
