& efficient separation technique to be employed for an analysis. 2 What is supercritical fluid? 3 Critical temperature (Tc) for any substance is a temperature above which it can no longer exist as a liquid‚ no matter how much pressure is applied. Critical pressure (Pc) is a pressure above which the substance can no longer exist as a gas no matter how high the temperature is raised. A supercritical fluid is any substance that is above its Tc & Pc [critical point]. CRITICAL POINT

[pic] | |Supercritical Fluid Dyeing SFD In textile industry water is the usual medium for dyeing and cleaning. This is the reason why textile industry is one of the biggest consumer of water in all industries. Textile refining processes without using water have to be applied because costs of water and waste water are increasing more and more‚ the legislator fixes more rigorous limit values for the sewage load and also the water resources become more and more limited in several areas.

Supercritical Carbon Dioxide as a Green Solvent Gregory Absillis June 2009 The majority of chemical processes in chemical synthesis are carried out in solution and organic solvents usually are the first choice. To satisfy this demand‚ 15 billion kilograms of organic are produced worldwide each year. [1] These solvents often bear considerable risk due to their toxicity‚ flammability or environmental hazards. Furthermore‚ they have to be separated from the products and recycled or disposed at

3.3. Extraction of lycopene Extraction of lycopene from dried and powdered matrices was carried out at each of the experimental combinations through an automated supercritical fluid extraction system (Model 7100‚ Thar Technologies Inc.‚ USA) consisting a stainless steel extraction vessel of 1lt. capacity. For each experiment‚ the extraction vessel was loaded with 250 g of lyophilized powder wrapped with filter paper to prevent spillage during extraction and contamination of the extracted material

methods of decaffeinating coffee‚ first providing a brief history of the processes used‚ and then transitioning into the current methods of decaffeination. The processes analyzed include solvent-based decaffeination‚ water decaffeination‚ and a supercritical carbon dioxide process. A brief description of each process is provided and then the processes are contrasted based on the following criteria: effectiveness of removing the caffeine‚ preservation of the coffee’s flavour‚ and relative cost of the

536°F) and pressure (1800 pounds per square inch‚ or 1241 Newton’s per square centimeter). This causes all the liquid within the gel to transform into a supercritical state‚ allowing a phase transition from liquid to gas without the absence of shrinkage which causes a gel structure to collapse and fully dry. This process is known as supercritical drying process. Before they discover the process‚ it took days to create aerogels‚ but improvements have short the drying time to a few hours. The process

MICROENCAPSULATION Microencapsulation: Definition: It is the process by which individual particles or droplets of solid or liquid material (the core) are surrounded or coated with a continuous film of polymeric material (the shell) to produce capsules in the micrometer to millimetre range‚ known as microcapsules. Microencapsulation (Cont.): Morphology of Microcapsules: The morphology of microcapsules depends mainly on the core material and the deposition process of the shell. 1- Mononuclear
