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.
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,
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,
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
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
Supercritical CO2 Property ADVANTAGES USING CO2 in SUPERCRITICAL STATE Characteristics of supercritical CO2 State Benefits Derived by the Supercritical CO2 Specific Characteristics Is odorless, non-toxic
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
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
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
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
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
Supercritical Fluid Fractionation For Fractionation it is meant the separation of one or more components (from a mixture) with the employment of a miscible or
