Supercritical fluids are very dense fluids, with superior properties when compared to liquids or solvents. The most commonly used of these fluids is CO2. Unlike solvents, it has a much less harsh impact on the environment. Pumping high density liquid CO2 requires supercritical CO2 pumps, such as the range of high-pressure pumps from Core Separations. Why is Supercritical CO2 So Effective? Once it reaches critical temperature, CO2 remains a gas-like fluid, combining the solvating power of a liquid with the diffusion properties of a gas. Adding small amounts of fluids or other modifiers can improve its solvating properties. Applications for…

The Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) initiative has been in effect for several years and regulates the maximum allowable levels of Cr, Hg, Pb, Br, Cd and Cl in consumer goods, particularly in plastics and polymers. XRF is used in the RoHS and similar protocols as a tool for rapid screening to quickly determine the presence of hazardous materials, mainly the elements Cr, Hg, Pb, Br and Cd. (Cl is also included in the regulated elements). In the rapid screening protocols, tight accuracy is not required by the XRF screening tool. A typical screening scheme is given here for rapid…

Urea is an organic compound that plays an important role in biological metabolism processes. Besides its physiological properties, synthetically synthesized urea has become a very meaningful compound in the clinical, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. It is a starting material for the synthesis of a large number of chemicals including hydrazine and melamine that are further used for the production of resins eventually used as building materials. In agriculture, urea is a preferred compound to be used as fertilizer because of its high nitrogen content. Another application with constantly rising importance is it use as an active ingredient in exhaust gas…
