Synopsis
Applications of supercritical fluid extractions include recovery of natural products and environmental and industrial clean-up. This book provides extensive coverage of diverse applications. Each section contains an overview followed by detailed treatments of specific topics, including thermodynamics, chromatography, and mass transfer. Essential for researchers in supercritical fluids, this volume will also interest engineers, analytical chemists, and food scientists.

The symposium was held in March 1996 in New Orleans, and generated 20 papers on recent developments in the increasing use of supercritical fluids for extractions for processing polymers and other materials, thermodynamics, recovering natural materials, chromatography, and environmental remediation and pollution prevention. Among the topics are extracting grinding and metal-cutting waste contaminated with oils, estimating physicochemical properties with supercritical fluid chromatography, extractions with reflex for processing citrus oil, extracting sage and coriander seed using near-critical carbon dioxide, and removing dioxins and stickies in recycled fibers and inactivating any microbes present.
