Abstract
Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is becoming an important tool in analytical science and has seen rapid development in the past few years. Manufacturers are now producing instrumentation designed for the routine application of the technique. It has the advantages, compared with liquid extraction, that
-
it is usually less expensive in terms of laboratory time
-
the solvent is easier to remove
-
pressure (as well as temperature and the nature of the solvent) can be used to select, to some extent, the compounds to be extracted
-
carbon dioxide is available, to be used as a pure or modified solvent,with its convenient critical temperature, its cheapness and non-toxicity
