Supercritical Fluid Technology

Published October 1985

This book presents the state-of-the-art in the science and technology of supercritical fluid (SCF) processing, reporting developments from 1981 to the end of 1984. Current research, as described in the book, focuses on developments in equations of state for binary and multicomponent mixtures (including polymer solutions), solubility measurements at near-critical conditions, measurements of critical properties of binary mixtures and their correlation with equations of state. Progress in thermodynamics, coupled with advances in the design and construction of high pressure equipment, has opened up a wide avenue of commercial application. The papers in this book are grouped under the following headings: Thermodynamic modeling of supercritical fluids, experimental data and techniques, process development and energy-related applications, and special applications. They will be of interest to researchers in industry and academia, to chemical engineers, scientists associated with chemical companies, food processors, flavour and other chemical manufacturers.
