Supercritical Fluids: Fundamentals and Applications

By: North Atlantic Treaty Organization Staff

Supercritical fluids are neither gas nor liquid, but can be compressed gradually from low to high density and they are therefore interesting and important as tunable solvents and reaction media in the chemical process industry.

Separation and processing using supercritical solvents such as CO2 are currently...
