Advanced Nanotechnology and Application of Supercritical Fluids
暫譯: 先進奈米技術與超臨界流體的應用

全球化和工業化涉及多種反應、產品、萃取和分離，這些過程需要使用有機溶劑。這些溶劑引發了多項生態問題，包括大氣和土地的毒性。傳統有機溶劑被視為揮發性有機化合物；其中一些因其可能對臭氧層造成損害而受到限制。雖然超臨界液體展現出可能使其成為這些揮發性化合物理想替代品的物理特性，但特別受到關注的是二氧化碳作為原料溶劑的使用。特別是，二氧化碳具有明顯的「綠色」特性，例如其不易燃的特性、一般無毒的事實以及相對惰性。因此，使用超臨界二氧化碳可以為工業產品和過程的可持續性提供實際改善。

本書提供了有關工業綠色過程的深入文獻，重點在於利用超臨界二氧化碳作為綠色溶劑進行化合物的分離、純化和萃取。
