Description and Table of Contents

Description

Supercritical fluid extraction is a technique in which C02 is used under extremely high pressure to separate solution (such as removing caffeine from coffee). Separations is basic to all process industries and supercritical fluid extraction is a specific type which is receiving a high level of attention. The book aims to weld basic fundamentals with industrial applications. This second edition has been expanded and updated and includes new chapters on chromatography and food processing.
