Abstract

The definition of high pressure in nature as well as in industry is presented. An overview on the occurrence of high pressure in nature is provided. Discovery of critical point, a brief history of supercritical fluids, along with early developments on the use of high pressure and supercritical fluids are presented. The motivation for use of high pressure in industrial scale operations is described.
