Chiew for his invaluable guidance and never-stopping encouragement throughout the span of my doctoral research at the National University of Singapore. His unmatched supervision and his spirit and soul as a real scholar, which make my research scholar experience undoubtedly the most impressive in my life, is highly appreciated. I also take this opportunity to thank A/P S. Kawi my co-supervisor for his admirable dedication to my thesis work during the time when Prof. Chiew has been on leave for years. I also would like to thank A/P W.K. Teo and A/P S.S. Feng for their insightful suggestions and comments on my PhD study. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Department technicians: Samantha, Choon Yen, Mr. Boey, Mdm. Li Xiang, Mdm. Koh, Mdm. Chiang, Mdm. Tay and Ms. Ng for their pleasing willingness while rendering help for my experimental work. Special thank must go to Mr. Ng Kim Poi for his great support during the setup of my experimental apparatus. I wish to mention my thanks to my senior colleges Wang Xiaoyan and Lu Weidong, and my junior colleges Zhou Hong, Wu Ning and Wen Hanzhen, as well as my friends Effendi Widjaja, Chen Shaoping, Liu Xueming, Zhao Lingyun, Peng Zanguo, etc., for providing a friendly and pleasant environment to live and study at NUS. Their helps done in the lab are also highly appreciated. Last, but not least, I would like to show my affectionate regards to my family members for their love and support while I have been studying overseas. My beloved mother has always shown me her love and supported me silently with her affection. I i Acknowledgements feel deeply grateful to my parents-in- law for their kindly caring my child and all the moral support that they have given me. I am also greatly obliged to my wife and later my son for their closely accompanying with me and making my stay in Singapore pleasant, colorful and perfectly satisfactory. Finally, I want to express my highly appreciation to the National University of Singapore for funding my pursuit of a PhD degree in the last three and a half years and supporting my attending AIChE 2000 annual meeting at Los Angels, CA USA. ii Tables of Contents TABLES OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS i TABLES OF CONTENTS iii SUMMARY ix NOMENCLATURE xi LIST OF FIGURES xvii LIST OF TABLES xxiii CHAPTER ONE Overview 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Scope of work CHAPTER TWO Theoretical Background and Literature Review 2.1 Introduction 2.2 Background on pure supercritical fluid 2.2.1 What is the supercritical fluid?
