    Abstract: PURPOSE:To safely, inexpensively and simply separate a polycyclic aromatic compound in a energy-saving state from a mixture such as petroleum refined oil or coal tar with supercritical carbon dioxide as a extraction and crystallization solvent. CONSTITUTION:A raw material mixture is charged into an extraction tank 7 and super critical carbon dioxide is fed into the extraction tank 7 through a high pressure pump 2 and a pre-heating coil 5 to extract the mixture with the super critical carbon dioxide. The temperature and pressure of the extraction tank 7 are controlled with an air constant temperature bath and a back pressure valve 3. After the extraction the super critical fluid containing the mixture is fed from the constant temperature tank 10 into a crystallization tank 12 maintained at a prescribed temperature and only the objective component in the mixture is deposited. The super critical fluid containing the solutes in the crystallization tank is substituted with the pure super critical fluid and subsequently the pressure in the tank is reduced to the atmospheric pressure to recover the component. Since the process can be operated at a relatively low temperature, the pyrolysis and polymerization of the target substance can be prevented.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To make it possible to measure the coefficient of viscosity simply and accurately by constituting an apparatus with a vibrator, a circuit for grounding a housing, a variable capacitor, dielectric-loss measuring device, and a balance detector. CONSTITUTION:A torsional vibrator 1 is held in a sample fluid cell 3 with housings 2. The inside of the cell 3 is filled with a fluid to be measured. Electrodes which are provided on the surfaces of the vibrator 1 are connected to the measuring bridge terminals of a dielectric-loss measuring device 4 through conductor wires 5. A synthesizer 6 which imparts a frequency input and a bal ance detector 7 which detects the balance of the bridge are connected to the corresponding terminals of the measuring device 4. The housing 2 is grounded to the grounding terminal of the bridge through a conductor wire 8. Thus the effect of the housing 2 in measurement is removed. A zero-position moving variable capacitor 9 which is connected to the vibrator 1 in parallel is prepared. The capacitance of the capacitor 9 is selected in measuring the width of a half value. Therefore, the zero position of the capacitance of the dielectric-loss measuring device corresponding to the capacitance of the capacitor 9 can be arbitrarily selected.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To portionwise sample a fractionated component at high purity efficiently and continuously without using an adsorbing column and without receiving the restriction of the number of times of fractionation, by providing a change-over valve between a separation column and a low pressure side and portionwise sampling the fractionated component by the operation of the change-over valve. CONSTITUTION:The first flow channel consisting of lines 9, 10 connects a change-over valve 2 and a separation column 1 and the second flow channel composed of a line 12 connects the change-over valve 2 and the separation column 1 through a minute flow rate control valve 7. The third flow channel consisting of lines 14, 15, 24 connects the change-over valve 2 and a low pressure region through a back pressure control valve 8, and the fourth flow channel consisting of lines 16-18, 20-22, 23 connects the change-over valve 2 and the low pressure region through a portionwise sampling change-over valve 3 and portionwise sampling containers a-c. When a supercritical fluid having a mixture to be separated dissolved therein is introduced into the separation column 1, the supercritical fluid wherein the mixture is fractionated into respective components is allowed to flow out from the separation column 1 in a time series manner. Hereupon, the change-over valves 2, 3 are operated in relation to a fractionated component detector 6 and the connection state of each flow channel is altered and each of the fractionated components is portionwise sampled in each of the portionwise sampling containers a-c.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To efficiently obtain highly concentrated furfural by extracting aqueous solution, etc., containing pentose such as xylose by using acid as catalyst and using supercritical fluid. CONSTITUTION:In a process producing furfural from aqueous solution containing pentose such as xylose or hemicellulose in plant body using acid as catalyst, a fluid having temperature and pressure exceeding critical temperature and critical pressure is made into contact with reacting liquid in reacting vessel and circulated, then furfural is extracted and recovered to outside of the reaction system. Preferably, the supercritical fluid containing furfural is circulated through a filling column having structure refluxing a part of concentrated liquid and the other concentrating column, thus concentration of furfural is enriched.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To easily constitute a process of rendering fluorocarbon or fluorocarbon-containing materials harmless and prevent emission of harmful materials out of a system by decomposing the fluorocarbon or fluorocarbon- containing materials inside a high temperature - high pressurized water in a temperature and a pressure (supercritical) condition exceeding the critical temperature and critical pressure. CONSTITUTION:A high temperature - high pressurized water is fed to a reactor together with a fluorocarbon or fluorocarbon-containing material. As the conditions of that time, a temperature exceeding the critical temperature of water, for example, 380 deg.C or more, and a pressure over the critical pressure of water, for example, 300atm or more, are preferred. The feed quantity of fluorocarbon is preferably less than 1/100 by mole ratio to water. When the fluorocarbon is chlorofluoromethane containing no hydrogen, the greater part is hydrolyzed in this reactor, forming carbon dioxide water, and hydrogen halide. The hydrogen halide in the product is neutralized by alkali and made harmless.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain the titled compound inexpensively, in high yield and harmlessly to human body without requiring removal of organic solvent by vacuum distillation, by fractionating gamma-linolenic acid containing natural fats and oils by chromatography using a supercritical fluid as a mobile phase. CONSTITUTION:gamma-Linolenic acid-containing natural fats and oils are fractionated by chromatography using a supercritical fluid as a mobile phase and a gamma- linolenic acid-containing glyceride fraction is collected to give the aimed com pound. A hydrocarbon such as methane or ethane besides carbon dioxide and freon is used as the supercritical fluid. The supercritical condition is >=72.4kg/cm pressure and >=31.0 deg.C temperature in the case of carbon dioxide. A small amount of ethanol, butane, etc., having 40-120 deg.C boiling point is added to the supercritical fluid so that separating performance is improved. The partial collection condition by the supercritical chromatography is preferably 35-60 deg.C temperature and 90-250kg/cm pressure.
