Abstract: A reactor for treating an organic material in a reaction medium by hydrothermal oxidation, comprising: a longitudinal body provided with a cold interface flange; an inner tube, positioned in the body to form an annular area and comprising a cold end and a hot end, the inner tube delimiting an internal reaction area in fluid communication with the annular area via an opening provided in the hot end of the inner tube; blades for stirring the reaction medium situated in the internal reaction area and mounted rotating about the longitudinal axis of the body; a sleeve for injecting organic material to be treated into the inner tube. The inner tube is mounted rotating on the cold flange, so as to be rotated about the longitudinal axis; the sleeve being positioned inside the inner tube, having a bore that defines a passage for the organic material to be treated to pass.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for continuously incorporating solids into a pressurised fluid which is either liquid or gaseous, comprising a string of pistons sliding inside a tube in order to define therein hermetically separated chambers, which tube is brought to increasing and then decreasing pressures by feeding and venting fluid. The solids are incorporated into the fluid at the inlet of the tube. In the centre of the tube, there are connections to a circuit in which the fluid flows and which feeds the solids towards a reactor where said solids are treated. This arrangement also makes it possible for divided solid materials to be extracted from the reactor, such that said solid materials are continuously depressurised.

Abstract: Method for preparing a substrate comprising a solid support and a plurality of layers on the support; at least one layer consisting of a uniform, homogeneous, and continuous film of particles of one or more metal oxide(s), or of uniformly, homogeneously, dispersed particles of one or more metal oxide(s), on the support or on an underlying layer; at least one layer consisting of a continuous or discontinuous film of one or more metal(s) or of one or more metal alloy(s), or of dispersed nanoparticles of one or more metal(s) or of one or more metal alloy(s), on the support or on an underlying layer; the method comprising the following steps: a)—impregnating the heated solid support or an already deposited underlying layer with a solution of precursors of the metal oxide or oxides in a supercritical fluid, and depositing a uniform, homogeneous, and continuous film of particles of one or more metal oxide(s), or of uniformly, homogeneously, dispersed particles of one or more metal oxide(s), on the support or on the

Abstract: A process for the “in situ” manufacture, in a pressurized CO2 medium, of coated particles. The manufacturing process is characterized in that the steps of synthesising the particles and of coating these particles are coupled in such a way that the synthesised particles remain dispersed in a pressurized CO2 medium at least until the coating. The device comprises a reactor for synthesising particles in a pressurized CO2 medium; a means of injecting the coating material or precursor thereof into said reactor; a means of supplying said reactor with a pressurized CO2 medium; in which the means of injecting the coating material or precursor thereof is coupled to the synthesis reactor in such a way that the injection of the coating material or precursor thereof into said reactor does not destroy the dispersion of the particles, in a pressurized CO2 medium, in said reactor.
