Liquefied gases as alternative solvents for green extraction of natural products

Liquefied gas; gaz liquéfié

Substance which is gaseous under normal temperature and pressure conditions, but which is liquefied by cooling and/or compression. By convention, this term is often restricted to substances with a boiling point between -90 and 10°C.

Eco-extraction ;green extraction

Extraction of plants to reduce energy consumption, using alternative solvents and renewable plant resources.

ATEX Directive (ATmosphères EXplosibles); ATEX Directive

European Directive (2014/34/EU) on equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

COSMO-RS (COnductor like Screening MOdel for Real Solvents)

Predictive model for calculating the chemical potential of a substance in a solvent or solvent mixture. By calculating the chemical potential, numerous thermodynamic properties can be deduced, such as the activity coefficient,...
