Research Abstract |
For the purpose of enrichment separation of temperature sensitive substances such as bioactive chemicals, supercritical extraction by using supercritical carbon dioxide seems attractive since supercritical condition is achieved around room temperature. A problem often arises regarding selective separation of specific chemicals from multicomponent mixtures since selectivity of extractive separation is determined solely from the ratio of solubilities of the chemicals in water and supercritical carbon dioxide. When adsorption is hybridized in the process, selection of adsorbents may add another possibility to increase selectivity of separation. Then the chemical in concern mayb be adsorbed on an adsorbent and the following desorption by supercritical carbon dioxide achiieves an ideal enrichment separation. Desorption studies of many different organics adsorbed on activated carbon as well as organics adsorbed on organic resin were carried out to clarify easiness of desorption from the standpoint of combination of organics and adsorbents.
