Supercritical fluids can diffuse like gases and dissolve materials like liquids. They are used in extraction processes to separate components using properties that can be varied with temperature and pressure.

Supercritical fluids combine properties of gases and liquids, have good solvating power, and solubility increases with density. They can also lead to difficult reactions in conventional solvents.

Carbon dioxide and some organic solvents are commonly used due to properties like cost, toxicity and density. Water is also becoming more popular as a solvent above its critical point.

SUPERCRITICAL FLUID
• It can diffuse like a gas and dissolve material like a liquid
• A fluid is termed supercritical when the temperature and pressure are higher
than the corresponding critical values.

PROPERTIES OF SUPERCRITICAL FLUID

• Combine properties of gases and liquids


• Lead to reactions, which are difficult to achieve in
conventional solvents.
• Good solvating power
• Solubility increases with increasing density
• Commonly miscible with permanent gases (e.G.
N2 or H2).

4
SOLVENTS
• Supercritical CO2 is most widely used solvent
because of its :-
 Low critical parameters (31.1º C, 73.8 bar)
 Low cost and non- toxic

• some organic solvents


• Chlorofluorocarbons (cfcs) are good solvents
because of their high density.
• Water as scf has become quite popular because
of unique properties of water above its critical
point. (374º C, 218 atm)

SUPERCRITICAL FLUID EXTRACTION

The process of separating one component (the


extractant) from another (the matrix)
using supercritical fluids as the extracting solvent.

It is based on the principle -that solubility in a


supercritical fluid increase dramatically with
increasing density and different solutes have
different solubility at the same condition.

PARTS OF SFE

• SOLVENT PUMP- Delivers the solvent throughout the system

• MODIFIER PUMP-Increases the polarity of solvent

• EXTRACTOR- Made up of stainless steel to withstand high pressure

-Size ranges from 50-100 ml


-Usually in an oven to control the temperature

• SEPARATORS- One or more to collect the extract and the solvent is depressurized

• VALVES- Helps in controlling process pressure , pumps flow rates , chiller , boiler and temperature in
every section

PROCEDURE:
INTRODUCTION OF FEED INTO EXTRACTOR (SOLID FEED) EITHER CO-CURRENTLY OR
COUNTER CURRENTLY AND PRESSURIZED WITH SCF

FORMATION OF MOBILE PHASE: MIXING OF SOLUTES WITH SUPERCRITICAL FLUID

EXPOSURE TO (50-500) ATM AND TEMPERATURE NEAR OR ABOVE THE CRITICAL


POINT FOR ENHANCING THE MOBILE PHASE SOLVATING POWER

ISOLATION OF DISSOLVED SOLUTE BY PRECIPITATION

10
MODES OF SCF EXTRACTION
• STATIC MODE (STEADY • DYNAMIC MODE (NON-STEADY STATE)
STATE)
• Sample soaked in a fixed amount • SCF continuously passes
of supercritical fluid through the sample matrix
• Can be compared to tea bag in cup • Analogous to a coffee
of water maker

11
APPLICATIONS
• Used in industries for the extraction of various natural
products
-Decaffeination of coffee
-Extraction of hops used in beer extraction
-Extraction of oleoresin from spices
• Extraction of essential oils -from black pepper , jojoba
• Flavonoids extraction
• Rapid analysis for fat content
• Rapid analysis for pesticides in foods 12
ADVANTAGES

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT - Reduced product contamination And


no extra emissions
SELECTIVITY - Solvent strength can be varied by changing pressure and
temperature
SPEED -It is a diffusion-based process and diffusivities of scf are much
higher than liquids so it is a faster process
PURITY – Scf can be separated from analyte by releasing the pressure
RECOVERY – Easily recoverable

13
DISADVANTAGES

• Elevated pressure required


• Phase equilibrium of the solvent/solute system is complex ,
making design of extraction condition difficult
• CO2 itself is non-polar and has somewhat limited dissolving
power
• Added solvents can complicate further downstream
processing

14
CONCLUSION

• Extraction by means of supercritical carbon FLUID can be expected to improve


efficiency , including shorter extraction times and simplified procedures when
compared with extraction techniques that employ organic solvents
• Suitable for extraction and purification of compounds having low volatility
• High B.P components are extracted at relatively low temperatures
• Thermally liable compounds can be extracted
• Low handling cost
