SFE Supercritical Fluid Extraction
SFE Supercritical Fluid Extraction SFE is an alternative compared to the classic separation systems like fractionated distillation, steam current distillation, solvent extraction or thermal desorption. SFE can be applied to systems on a different scale: from … [Read more...] about SFE Supercritical Fluid Extraction
CO2 phase diagram – States of matter
CO2 phase diagram – States of matter CO2 isn’t a liquid at room pressure: it is a gas.In the picture here on the right, taken from The Engineering ToolBox, the equilibrium curve is the colored one between the triple point and the critical point.The Triple Point is … [Read more...] about CO2 phase diagram – States of matter
Is CO2 polar or nonpolar?
Is CO2 polar or nonpolar? The supercritical fluid commonly utilized is carbon dioxide (CO2). The state diagram of CO2 visualizes the various phases (solid, liquid, gas) depending on pressure and temperature. CO2, at 31,1°C and 73,8 bar, is in its supercritical state, in which there is no … [Read more...] about Is CO2 polar or nonpolar?
What is a CO2 extract / oil?
What is a CO2 extract / oil? Supercritical carbon dioxide isn’t only a efficient solvent for apolar compounds, in fact, if it’s combined with fluid modifiers like water, it becomes a very efficient solvent also for medium polar and polar substances (caffeine for coffee decaffeination). The … [Read more...] about What is a CO2 extract / oil?
What is a supercritical fluid?
What is a supercritical fluid? A supercritical fluid is any substance at temperature and pressure above its critical point. It can diffuse through solids like a gas, and it can dissolve materials like a liquid. In addition, close to the critical point, small … [Read more...] about What is a supercritical fluid?

How does CO2 extraction work?
How does CO2 extraction work? The main feature of supercritical fluids (SCF) is the tunability of their properties as solvent, supercritical CO2 or SC-CO2 extraction processes present an important advantage over low pressure methods, i.e., the selectivity of supercritical CO2 can be adjusted by … [Read more...] about How does CO2 extraction work?
Supercritical CO2 extraction benefits
Supercritical CO2 extraction benefits The supercritical CO2 extraction is, beyond all doubt, the best extraction technique available today. It is the best not only for the quality of its extracts, but also for the absence of contamination. For this reason, the exhausted matrix (flour, etc. ..) … [Read more...] about Supercritical CO2 extraction benefits
Semi Continuous Extraction
Semi Continuous Extraction The semi continuous extraction reduces the down time and bacteria pollution in the system.The CO2 flows continuously in the circuit, preventing the accumulation of Dirt and Bacteria.In the semi-continuous extraction process, the … [Read more...] about Semi Continuous Extraction
Overlapping extraction
Overlapping extraction While in the simple semi continuous extraction the system is equipped with 2 extraction vessels, in the overlapping extraction the system is equipped with 3 extraction vessels.Taking advantage on the typical flowers and leaves extraction … [Read more...] about Overlapping extraction
Soaking or Static-Dynamic extraction
Soaking or Static-Dynamic extraction The soaking extraction or static-dynamic-steps (SDS) allows the supercritical co2 to remain in contact with the raw material for the time necessary to dissolve the target compound. The raw material is brought to the set point pressure and, when … [Read more...] about Soaking or Static-Dynamic extraction
