  • What is a supercritical CO2 extraction plant?
  • A multiproduct and mobile supercritical CO 2 extraction plant is designed. The supercritical CO 2 extraction is a closed-cycle process with 99 % CO 2 recovery. The profitability analysis shows the IRR and payback period are 40% and 2.5 years. The safety of the high-pressure equipment is enhanced by conducting the HAZOP study.
  • Why is CO2 used in supercritical extraction?
  • CO 2 is exploited in supercritical extraction because its critical point is easily reachable at low temperatures and pressures (31.1 °C and 74 bar) making it a very useful and environmentally friendly solvent to extract vegetable oils [ 7 ].
  • How safe is supercritical CO2 extraction?
  • The supercritical CO 2 extraction is a closed-cycle process with 99 % CO 2 recovery. The profitability analysis shows the IRR and payback period are 40% and 2.5 years. The safety of the high-pressure equipment is enhanced by conducting the HAZOP study. Extraction process emissions were assessed considering direct and indirect factors.
  • Can supercritical carbon dioxide extract oil and functional compounds from matrices?
  • Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2) has been successfully applied to extract oil and functional compounds from several matrices. In this work, the SC-CO 2 extraction of RBO was optimized using a Design of Experiment (DoE) on a pilot scale.
