supercritical carbon dioxide was investigated. The operating conditions studied were:
pressures ranging from 12 to 20MPa and temperatures from 293 to 313K, indicating solvent
densities ranging from 666 to 938 [Formula: see text], and solvent flow rate varying from 1.3×
10− 5 to 5.0× 10− 5 [Formula: see text]. The results show an increase in the extraction rate,
observed through the overall extraction curves (OEC), with increasing pressure. The …
