Over the last 15 years, there has been renewed interest in supercritical fluids owing to their unique properties and relatively low environmental impact. Greatest attention has been given to the extraction and separation of organic compounds. Supercritical fluids have also been successfully used for particle production, as reaction media, and for the destruction of toxic waste. Supercritical carbon dioxide has been the most widely used supercritical fluid, mainly because it is cheap, relatively nontoxic, and has convenient critical values.

Produktbeschreibung
Over the last 15 years, there has been renewed interest in supercritical fluids owing to their unique properties and relatively low environmental impact. Greatest attention has been given to the extraction and separation of organic compounds. Supercritical fluids have also been successfully used for particle production, as reaction media, and for the destruction of toxic waste. Supercritical carbon dioxide has been the most widely used supercritical fluid, mainly because it is cheap, relatively nontoxic, and has convenient critical values. Supercritical fluids have also been used on analytical and preparative scales for many biological and other applications. Many papers have been published on the use of supercritical fluids. However, few have acted as a detailed instruction manual for those wanting to use the techniques for the first time. We anticipate that this Methods in Biotechnology volume, Supercritical Fluid Methods and Protocols will s- isfy the need for such a book. Every chapter has been written by experienced workers and should, if closely followed, enable workers with some or no previous experience of supercritical fluids to conduct experiments successfully at the first attempt.
Rezensionen
"Supercritical Fluid is a worthwhile addition to the reference collection of an academic or a special library that serves scientists who carry out extractions or perform liquid chromatography. It will be of special interest to researchers who are seeking solutions to reduce the amount of organic solvent waste material and its related pollution in their laboratories and on their campuses."--Review from E-Streams Vol.3, No. 10, Dec. 2000.

"The book is unique in the supercritical realm in that it is basically a "laboratory manual" and/or a compendium of a wide variety of applications that employ supercritical fluids....The strongest point of the book is the wide diversity in the applications that are demonstrated. This allows the reader no only to see who the investigators are that deal in supercritical fluids but also to ascertain how the experimental strategies differ depending upon the application....This will be an excellent book for anyone working with supercritical fluids and those looking for new applications....should be useful in affording the proper experimental direction."-Journal of Natural Products

"...the editors have drawn on their extensive academic and industrial experience to provide a source book of information on the application of supercritical fluids....The emphasis is on instructions, detailed enough for the neophyte, but with enough discussion to be of value to the more established practitioner....The wide range, clear presentation, uniformity of style and sheer usefulness of this book should guarantee it a place on the shelf of every biotechnologist." - Chromatographia…mehr
