Abstract
In this chapter summary on history, thermodynamic and mass transfer data, early applications, advantages of application of supercritical fluids on industrial scale, extraction processes of solids and liquids on industrial scale, production of polymer particles and foams, application of supercritical fluids as reactants and as solvent for chemical and biochemical reaction are presented. Future expected developments in the use of supercritical fluids as processing media for extraction of solids and liquids, for impregnation of different substrates and as solvents and reactants in chemical and biochemical reaction are discussed. Advantages using CO2 as environmental friendly and the second cheapest solvent with the new challenges and opportunities are presented.
