Mechanism of supercritical fluid extraction of coal.

Supercritical Fluid Extraction+supercritical Fluid Chromatography

high pressures also requires special equipment. In summary, both RESS crystallization and SAS crystallization appear to be promising methods for generating supersaturation and therefore represent alternatives to conventional crystallization. Such alternatives may prove attractive in applications such as polymer and pharmaceutical processing, or in particle design for drug delivery. It is possib...

Optimizing Supercritical Fluid Extraction Systems

Supercritical fluid extraction systems can be configured in a number of different ways and the operating conditions can span the full continuum of temperatures and pressures. Every combination presents differing solubilities and mass transfer behaviour and results in different cost. Optimal conditions for processing are rarely coincident with optimal conditions for maximum solubility. For a typ...

Production of Mesophase Pitch from Coal Tar and Petroleum Pitches using Supercritical Fluid Extraction

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is currently being investigated as a possible technique in the production of high quality mesophase pitch from coal tar and petroleum pitches. Mesophase pitch is used to make high technology products, such as carbon fibre. The conventional production of mesophase pitch initially involves the removal of low molecular weight species from coal tar and petroleum...
