Supercritical Gases as Solvents: Phase Equilibria

  • Chapter
Gas Extraction

Part of the book series: Topics in Physical Chemistry ((TOPPHYSCHEM,volume 4))

Abstract

Gas extraction and related processes are characterized by using a dense gas as solvent. In processes with solvents, the driving potential for mass and heat transfer is determined by the difference from the equilibrium state, in most cases the difference to heterogeneous thermodynamic equilibrium, at given conditions of state. Equilibrium determined processes, like gas extraction, are analyzed with respect to the equilibrium state.
