This chapter deals with fundamentals of supercritical fluid extraction. Considering first the typical phase diagrams of high pressure systems. Thereafter the application of supercritical fluids to separations is illustrated ...

This review summarizes the advances made in the last decade in understanding the effect of phase conditions in the performance of supercritical reactors and in the control of process outputs. The study covers heterogeneo ...

In this work, we discuss recent advances on thermodynamic modeling, process simulation and optimization of supercritical extraction and fractionation processes. The increasing availability of experimental data, as well as ...

The application of an upgraded group contribution equation of state combined with rigorous simulation and optimization to supercritical processes is reviewed and new applications are presented for vegetable oil purification ...
