SUFRAPUR II

Objective

The main objective of the project is to research key factors in continuous liquid fractionation and purification processes with supercritical CO2 in a counter-current column using model substrates as a reference for potential future applications, focusing on fundamental aspects of pressurised CO2 counter-current column fractionation processes that require special attention in order to advance the level of technology development and establish a solid knowledge base

Activities

1. Analysis of research advances in supercritical CO2 fractionation in a counter-current column
2. Experimental study of liquid fractionation with CO2-SC in a counter-current column
3. Assessment of potential future industrial applications of counter-current supercritical fractionation based on a model process
4. Coordinación y gestión
5. Communication and dissemination
6. Transfer and promotion of results
