Features: Supercritical fluid extraction technology is a new type of chemical separation technology that has been developed based on the unique solubility of solutes in supercritical fluids. After more than 30 years of development, both theoretical research and practical applications have become relatively mature, and it has been widely applied in many industries such as food, spices, traditional Chinese medicine, and biotechnology. This book comprehensively introduces the properties of supercritical fluids and their extraction principles, the intensification techniques of supercritical CO2 fluid extraction processes, process development, equipment, and the design of automatic control systems. It also provides practical examples of the application of supercritical CO2 fluid extraction technology in industries such as food, spices, traditional Chinese medicine, and biotechnology. This book is suitable for technical personnel engaged in the research, design, and production of supercritical CO2 fluid extraction technology, as well as science and technology workers in industries such as food, spices, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology who are interested in the application of this technology. It can also serve as a reference book for teachers, graduate students, and undergraduate students in higher education institutions.
