2. Supercritical fluid decontamination
CO 2 can also be used as a decontamination agent due to its highly specific properties, and particularly its biological properties. By decontamination, we mean the elimination of certain components or micro-organisms potentially dangerous to humans.
2.1 Disposal of potentially hazardous components
Supercritical CO 2 is used to selectively extract pesticides from certain natural products whose active ingredients are polar compounds insoluble in this fluid. Among pesticides, organochlorines are highly soluble in this fluid, organophosphates being much less so. For example, ginseng is processed on an industrial scale to reduce organophosphorus pesticide concentrations to...
