Applied Separations

We’re all familiar with the three states of matter – Liquid, solid and gas.                                  Let’s look at water. Carbon dioxide is the gas most often used to create supercritical fluid. Carbon dioxide is: Importantly – by using existing CO2, there is no increase in greenhouse gases The conditions for supercritical carbon dioxide are very mild. CO2 becomes supercritical around 1073 PSI and 90 degrees F (31 degrees C and 74 bar.) That’s less than body temperature! So, what is…
