It creates what's called supercritical water.

它创造了所谓的超临界水。

That last bit is what makes supercritical water so special.

最后一点是超临界水如此特别的原因。

To start a fire with water, you need supercritical water.

用水生火，需要超临界水。

But when supercritical water encounters a PFAS molecule, supercritical water oxidation can break it down.

但是当超临界水遇到全氟辛烷磺酸分子时，超临界水氧化可以分解它。

When water is in that supercritical state, it's both a liquid and a gas.

当水处于超临界状态时，既是液体也是气体。

So treating contaminated water with supercritical water oxidation can make it safe to drink again!

所以用超临界水氧化处理污染水可以让它再次安全饮用！

If water is liquid, ice is solid, and steam is gas, supercritical water is the fourth option.

如果水是液体，冰是固体，蒸汽是气体的话，超临界水是第四种选择。

Like a gas, supercritical water can make its way through tiny gaps in solid objects.

像气体一样，超临界水可以通过固体物体的微小间隙。

This process is known as supercritical water oxidation.

这个过程被称为超临界水氧化。

That means fires burn away organic waste in a very similar way to supercritical water.

这意味着火燃烧有机废物的方式与超临界水非常相似。
