Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article is an overview, introducing the currently used supercritical carbon
dioxide (scCO2) based technology in association to biotechnological
applications. Within each application, the basic principles of the technique, a
description of the instrumentation, methodology, and problems encountered, and
advantages over the traditional methods are discussed. The areas covered in this
paper include pure supercritical CO2 properties, coـsolvents role, and the
interactions between the scCO2 and the amphiphiles involved. Extraction and
reaction are discussed.
