Course content
Supercritical point and its surrounding, supercritical liquids and their physical properties ( density, viscosity, diffusivity, solubility ). Chemical properties of supercritical liquids, reaction in supercritical medium. Theoretical and practical aspects of supercritical fluid extraction and its influencing ( elution essence, solubility, modificators, derivatization, temperature and pressure influences ). Instrumentation SFE ( extraction cells, restrictors, capture ). SFE application ( both industry and laboratory ). Supercritical fluid chromatography SFC ( comparison with GC and HPLC, instrumentation, columns, restrictors, detectors, application ).
