The Great Versatility of Supercritical Fluids in Industrial Processes: A Focus on Chemical, Agri-Food and Energy Applications
Résumé
Long a thermodynamic curiosity, supercritical fluids (SCFs) have gradually gained ground in today’s life, generating an increasing number of new, efficient processes in diverse industrial sectors and fueling active R&D programs. Indeed, the versatility of SCFs allows them to serve a wide variety of applications. The list includes not only food processing, biofuel production, extraction of biomolecules marketable as medicines, cosmetics and nutraceuticals, but also emerging technologies for the production of electrical power, based on supercritical or transcritical thermodynamic cycles. This jointly authored article will provide a review of important applications covered by our laboratories in the agri-food, chemical and energy sectors. We will then try to detect recent trends and outline future prospects.
