The book Supercritical Fluid Technology provides an overview of basic principles of different SCF Technologies and potential application in pharmaceutical and food industries. Because of their unique properties and relatively low environmental impact, supercritical fluids have proven highly useful in the extraction and separation of organic compounds, in particle production, as reaction media, and for the destruction of toxic waste. This book represents different SCF technologies like Rapid Expansion of Super Critical Solutions (RESS), Gas Antisolvent Process (GAS), Precipitation with a Compressed Fluid Antisolvent (PCA), Supercritical Antisolvent (SAS), The Aerosol Solvent Extraction System (ASES), Particles From Gas-Saturated Solutions (PGSS), Solution-Enhanced Dispersion By Supercritical Fluids (SEDS), Co2 Assisted Nebulization And Bubble Drying (CAN-BD), Super Critical Fluid Extraction (SFE), Super Critical Fluid Chromatography (SFC), Super Critical Fluid Drying (SFD), Super Critical Water Oxidation (SCWO). By compiling knowledge & evaluation of whole thing, this book presents the state-of-the-science in the application of innovative technologies using supercritical fluids.
