samanthalee, what is ScCO2 and what is "ternary"?

CC: samanthalee

ScCO2 is supercritical carbon dioxide. In the original text it is written as supercritical CO2.
Supercritical is an "unusual" state of matter in Chemistry where both liquid and gaseous states of a compound co-exist and are indistinguishable from each other (an interesting and exciting discovery with many useful applications)

"ternary" is a fancy word in chemistry that means "containing 3 things" (in ordinary English, I'd have said "containing 3 elements", but as it is, "elements" cannot be lightly used in Chemistry. ) "Ternary phase mixture" thus means "a phase mixture that contains 3 different phases" (a term that is unnecessarily complicated, but that's science for you. )

Wow - thanks for the chemistry lesson - and to think I have a B.A. in Biology!!! Oh well, I left science in 1982 ... before most of you guys were born.
