Supercritical Fluid Technology in Industry: Recent Advances and Challenges (2014-2024) offers new insights into the theoretical and industrial applications of multiple processes included in supercritical technology - combining a review of the established literature with recent advances in theory, current applications, and case studies, to help promote more a sustainable research approach. This books outlines supercritical fluid technology and processes operated with substances at conditions above or near the critical point and enables the reader to understand the basic steps of equipment and processing, explains the different methods of using supercritical technology and applications, current developments that increase economic feasibility and reduce environmental impact. Supercritical Fluid Technology in Industry will be a great guide for anyone looking to supercritical technology as a means of optimizing existing processes or designing new processes with sustainability in mind; this includes industry experts, researchers, academics, students at graduate level and above. This book will also be of value to researchers working with supercritical fluid in other industries, such as the food, pharmaceutical, mineral, electronics, engineering and energy fields.
