In this work the possibility of impregnating P(MMA-EHA-EGDMA) with flurbiprofen using a clean and environmentally friendly technology, namely supercritical fluid technology was evaluated. P(MMA-EHA-EGDMA) has been proposed as a promising matrix to be used for intraocular delivery of anti-inflammatory drugs used in eye surgery and flurbiprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. Fundamental studies like, the solubility of the drug in carbon dioxide, as well as the sorption degree of this polymeric matrix in the presence of carbon dioxide have been previously carried out. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of these two variables in the impregnation process. Different experimental conditions were tested and the results obtained suggest that the best impregnating conditions for this system are low temperatures and pressures, which at the same time correspond to a lower solubility of the drug in the supercritical fluid and a low swelling of the polymeric matrix. Experiments performed also indicate that the batch impregnation process leads to higher yields of impregnation and according to the release profiles obtained the drug can be released from the matrix up to three months, which presents great advantages for post-surgical treatments.

When processing lucuma (), waste such as shells and seeds is generated, which is a source of bioactive compounds. Recently, lucuma seed (LS), especially its oily fraction, has been studied for containing phytosterols and tocopherols, powerful antioxidants with health benefits. This study proposes lucuma seed oil (LSO) extraction using supercritical fluid (SCF) to improve the quality of the extract and minimize the environmental impact.

Supercritical-dense phase CO pipeline transportation has been proven to have excellent economic and safety benefits for long-distance CO transportation in large-scale. Hydrates are easily generated in the high-pressure and low-temperature sections, resulting in blockage, so it is necessary to build the prediction model for hydrate formation in the long-distance CO pipeline transportation. In the prediction model of hydrate formation of our work, the phase equilibrium was determined by the Chen-Guo model, and the lateral growth of hydrate was calculated by the comprehensive growth model, and the hydrate growth was estimated by analogy with the condensation process.

The simultaneous separation of the enantiomers of six anticoagulant rodenticides, derived from 4-hydroxycoumarin, has been studied in this work. Ten different stationary phases (zwitterionic, Pirkle-type, polysaccharides and macrocyclic antibiotics derivatives) were evaluated by using supercritical fluid chromatography coupled to two different detectors (circular dichroism and mass spectrometry-single quadrupole). The effect of the type of organic modifier and temperature on the chiral separation was investigated, and the best results were obtained with the column Regis S,S-Whelk-O1 at 25 °C when using a gradient elution program with methanol as organic modifier.
