The application scenarios of supercritical fluid extraction equipment are very wide.
The following are some main application areas:
Pharmaceutical industry: In the field of drug preparation, supercritical fluid technology is widely used in drug extraction, purification and formulation. This technology can efficiently and environmentally friendly extract active ingredients in drugs by adjusting temperature and pressure and selecting appropriate supercritical fluids as solvents. Compared with traditional organic solvent extraction methods, supercritical fluid extraction has the advantages of being non-toxic, residue-free, and efficient. It can avoid harmful substances in drugs and improve the purity and bioavailability of drugs.
Food industry: Supercritical fluid extraction technology is also widely used in the food industry. For example, supercritical fluid extraction technology has been widely used in the extraction of essences from natural spices and plants, and the extraction of oils and fats from animals and plants. In addition, the high permeability and low viscosity characteristics of supercritical fluids can be used to efficiently extract and separate harmful substances in food while retaining the nutrients and taste of the food.
Petrochemical: In the petrochemical industry, supercritical fluid extraction equipment can be used for refining and purifying petroleum, as well as extracting valuable chemicals from petroleum by-products.
Environmental protection field: Supercritical fluid extraction technology can also be used in environmental protection fields, such as wastewater and exhaust gas treatment. It can effectively remove harmful substances from waste water and exhaust gas and reduce environmental pollution.
Material synthesis field: Supercritical fluid technology also has important application prospects in the material synthesis field. By utilizing the high diffusivity and low surface tension of supercritical fluids, precise synthesis and control of nanomaterials and functional materials can be achieved.
In general, supercritical fluid extraction equipment has shown broad application prospects in many fields. Its high efficiency, environmental protection, and flexibility make it an important separation and purification technology.
