Supercritical Fluid Extraction: Principles and Practice; Mark A. McHugh, Val J. Krukonis
Supercritical fluid extraction is a technique in which carbon dioxide is used under high pressure to separate materials (e.g. removing caffeine from coffee). Separations are basic to all process industries, and supercritical fluid extraction is a specific technique that is receiving a high level of attention. The book combines basic fundamentals with industrial applications. It presents technical analysis of successes and failures of supercritical fluid technology. The second edition contains new material on polymer processing, calculation of phase behavior, and phase behavior of high-pressure mixtures. It has been expanded, updated and includes new chapters on chromatography and food processing.
