Supercritical Fluid Education Grant to be Awarded

Applied Separations, Inc., world leaders in Supercritical Fluids technologies, recognizes the importance of a practical scientific education. In order to support this, Applied Separations has committed to doing its part to assist colleges, universities and 2-year institutions in preparing their students for the scientific workplace of today and tomorrow.

A strong foundation in Green Chemistry is key to our success as a society, and the use of Supercritical Fluids (SCF) is fundamental to an education in green chemistry. By using Supercritical Fluids, your students will be leading tomorrow's green process with no petroleum solvents and no toxic residue. Required for teaching SCF is a Supercritical Fluids system that is safe for the classroom, but with enough power and features to illustrate and educate.

Applied Separations is proud to offer this award, SCF-PRIME-11, which will allow the selected college or university to offer instruction on Supercritical Fluids. The winner will be awarded a Spe-ed SFE Prime Package, which includes a Supercritical Fluid System designed specifically for the higher education market as well as supporting Classroom Materials, such as a syllabus, handouts, suggested applications and more. The total value of this package exceeds $20,000.

Use Supercritical Fluids to Remove Water from Fragile Items

Supercritical Fluids are perfect for almost all Critical Point Drying applications. Carbon Dioxide in its supercritical state has the permeability to reach into the smallest crevices of any artifact. Unlike liquids, Supercritical CO₂ has no surface tension to destroy the artifact you’re trying to restore. With ‘normal’ evaporation techniques as the water goes from liquid to gas, the surface tension created by this state change pulls against the structure it is attached to causing capillary stress, and in the case of delicate artifacts, often destroying the artifact.
