Data from: Comparative studies on water- and vapor-based hydrothermal carbonization: process analysis

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) reactor systems used to convert wet organic wastes into value-added hydrochar are generally classified in the literature as liquid water-based (HTC) or vapor-based (VTC). However, the distinction between the two is often ambiguous. In this paper, we theoretically developed models for predicting reactor pressure, volume fraction of liquid water, and water distribution between phases as a function of temperature.
