Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of castor oil seed

This study investigates the extraction of castor oil using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). The response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to show explicitly the influence of the process parameters such as temperature, pressure and CO2 flow rate on the oil yield using the Box-Behnken desi...
