| Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) is one of the processes of separating one component from another, using supercritical fluids as the extracting solvent. The SFE is widely used as an extraction technology such as extraction of mixtures, refining polymer materials, separation of useful ingredients such as medicines or spice out of natural plants.
Rather than the SFE, more applicable industry through SCF is being considered and studies seriously for energy savings and clean process development as well. |
