Supercritical fluid extraction with mixed solvents

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...

Extraction of Garlic with Supercritical Co2 and Conventional Organic Solvents

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) and garlic extracts have therapeutical properties that stem from their sulfur-containing compounds, mainly allicin. The main objective of this work was to compare conventional and “premium” garlic extracts in terms of yield and quality, with the latter being obtained using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) as the solvent. Yield ranged between 0.65 and 1.0% and inc...

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...
