Overview
The Arşen TSG-M070 is a laboratory-scale system that takes carbon dioxide above its critical point (31.1 °C, 7.38 MPa) to exploit a fluid that combines liquid-like solvating power with gas-like diffusivity. A high-pressure pump, a temperature-controlled extraction vessel and a separator allow dissolving selectivity to be tuned simply through pressure and temperature. The system is used to extract essential oils, lipids and active compounds from botanical and natural raw materials; to produce aerogels by supercritical drying of silica, cellulose and polymer gels without collapsing their pore structure; to clean and impregnate porous materials; and to generate fine particles by supercritical precipitation. At the end of the process the CO₂ reverts to the gas phase and leaves the product free of solvent residue, which suits R&D and pilot studies in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, energy and advanced materials.
