چکیده
At DOE sites, significant amounts of Job Control Waste (JCW) need to be disposed. This JCW is generated and contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) during clean-up operations. A commercial, plant-based absorbent material, “Toxi-dry”, is used extensively for decontamination and decommissioning of DOE waste sites and is classified a hazardous JCW after use. In this investigation, 1,2,4trichlorobenzene (TCB) was chosen as the surrogate for PCBs. As a promising separation technology, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) was investigated for removing and recovering PCBs from contaminated of JCW. TCB was extracted from Toxi-dry using both pure and modified supercritical carbon dioxide. It was found that at constant pressure, increasing temperature from 40 C to 80 C greatly improved the recoveries, while the pressure effect of SFE was not as clear as the temperature effect. With 5wt % acetone or ethanol added as cosolvent, the efficiency of SFE of TCB was also significantly improved.

Extraction of chromium(III) and chromium(VI) species from solid matrices using green solvent supercritical carbon dioxide.
Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) provides an environmentally green technique to decontaminate chromium species from solid matrices using supercritical fluid carbon dioxide (ScCO2). Methanol and a small amount of water were found to significantly improve the extraction efficiency. The fluorinated chelating agent lithium bis(trifluoroethyl)-dithiocarbamate (LiFDDC) was effective in removing C...

متن کاملSub and Supercritical Decontamination of Oil-Based Drill Cuttings: A Review
Drill mud is a fluid which is used in oil extraction industries in order to cool and lubricate the drill bit. Due to containing numerous toxic components, it is considered as a hazardous waste which must be treated before discharging to the environment. Current separation techniques for drill cutting treatment can be categorized into three main categories of physical (dewatering), physiochemica...

This article carried out the extraction of sesame oil by using three extraction techniques: supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), Soxhlet and sequential extraction. The SFE was performed using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) as solvent and ethanol as cosolvent. Tests were performed at 20 MPa, 35°C and a flow rate of 2.5 g CO2/min with a total extraction time of 210 minutes. The Soxhlet ex...
