Comparison between supercritical extraction technology and anhydrous extraction technology
Comparison between Supercritical Extraction Technology and Anhydrous Extraction Technology, as well as their respective advantages and application areas: Supercritical Extraction Technology: Supercritical extraction is a separation technique that uses a supercritical fluid, usually carbon dioxide, as a solvent. Under high pressure and temperature, carbon dioxide can reach a supercritical state, exhibiting properties between gas and liquid, with high diffusivity and low viscosity. Its main advantages include: Environmentally friendly: Supercritical carbon dioxide is a natural, non-toxic, and harmless solvent that can be easily released by depressurization after the operation, eliminating the need for hazardous organic solvents. Mild conditions: Supercritical extraction is conducted at relatively low temperatures, helping to preserve the activity of volatile and heat-sensitive compounds. Versatility: By adjusting the temperature and pressure, selective extraction of different compounds
