Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Supercritical Fluid Extraction is a technique in which CO2 is used under extremely high pressure to separate solutions. Separations is basic to all process industries & supercritical fluid extraction is a specific type which is receiving a high level of attention, The book will combine basic fundamentals with industrial applications.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-255) and index.
Historical perspective -- Phase diagrams for supercritical fluid-solute mixtures -- Experimental techniques in high-pressure studies -- Thermodynamic modeling of supercritical fluid-solute phase behavior -- Process operations -- Early industrial applications -- Supercritical fluid process development studies: 1976-1981 -- Polymer and monomer processing -- Processing pharmaceuticals, natural products and specialty chemicals and waste streams -- Chemical reactions in supercritical fluids -- Special applications.
