Abstract

Supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) is becoming a viable unit operation in the chemical process industry. This paper discusses a laboratory experiment that both reinforces fundamental engineering principles and introduces the students to solid/SCFE. The experiment provides an opportunity for the students to explore SCFE and to use their engineering skills to deal with issues of scale-up and high-pressure equipment design and operation.
