Supercritical carbon dioxide — Carbon dioxide pressure temperature phase diagram Supercritical carbon dioxide is a fluid state of carbon dioxide where it is held at or above its critical temperature and critical pressure. Carbon dioxide usually behaves as a gas in air at STP… … Wikipedia

Carbon dioxide flooding — Carbon dioxide (CO2) flooding is a process whereby carbon dioxide is injected into an oil reservoir in order to increase output when extracting oil.When a reservoir’s pressure is depleted through primary and secondary production, Carbon Dioxide… … Wikipedia
Supercritical fluid extraction — (SFE) is the process of separating one component (the extractant) from another (the matrix) using supercritical fluids as the extracting solvent. Extraction is usually from a solid matrix, but can also be from liquids. SFE can be used as a sample … Wikipedia
Supercritical — may refer to:* Critical mass, the smallest amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction * Critical temperature, Tc, the temperature above which distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist * Supercritical fluid, a… … Wikipedia
Supercritical fluid chromatography — is a form of normal phase chromatography that is used for the analysis and purification of low to moderate molecular weight, thermally labile molecules. It can also be used for the separation of chiral compounds. Principles are similar to those… … Wikipedia
Supercritical fluid — A supercritical fluid is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its thermodynamic critical point. It can diffuse through solids like a gas, and dissolve materials like a liquid. Additionally, close to the critical point, small changes… … Wikipedia
Supercritical drying — (red arrow) goes beyond the critical point of the working fluid in order to avoid the direct liquid–gas transition seen in ordinary drying (green arrow) or the two phase changes in freeze drying (blue arrow). Supercritical drying is a process to… … Wikipedia
Carbon sink — A carbon sink is reservoir of carbon that accumulates and stores carbon for an indefinite period. The main natural sinks are: # Absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans # Photosynthesis by plants and algae The process by which carbon sinks… … Wikipedia
supercritical fluid — noun A substance at a temperature and pressure above its own thermodynamic critical point that can diffuse through solids like a gas and dissolve materials like a liquid. The most commonly used supercritical fluids are carbon dioxide and … Wiktionary
Total organic carbon — (TOC) is the amount of carbon bound in an organic compound and is often used as a non specific indicator of water quality or cleanliness of pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment. A typical analysis for TOC measures both the total carbon present… … Wikipedia
