Solubility behavior of pure components (camphene and caryophyllene oxide) at subcritical and supercritical conditions of carbon dioxide

Subcritical and supercritical fluids are good solvents because they possess liquid-like density and gas-like diffusivity and viscosity, which allow quick equilibration and micro pore permeation of fluid. Advantages of using subcritical and supercritical fluid are environmental friendly, less cont...

With solubility data of compounds in subcritical and supercritical condition of solvent, these processes can be designed, scaled up and optimized.
