✦ Synopsis

Dioxins and dibenzofurans are chlorinated toxic compounds. They are formed in many different processes involving chlorine. They are found everywhere in nature. As they are nonpolar they accumulate in fat containing environments and are, for example, found in breast milk, fatty fish, and cod liver oil. For those cases where it is possible to get rid of the dioxins, it is important to try this.

Counter-current extraction of dioxins from cod liver oil has been studied using supercritical carbon dioxide. The results show that 80% of the dioxins can be extracted together with the 17% of the oil. The best conditions so far, in a 1 m/14-mm i.d. column filled with glass rings, are 150 bar and 40 "C and an oil-to-carbon dioxide ratio of 1: 100.

Dioxins and dibenzofurans are suspected to be quite toxic. They are fat soluble, and therefore, accumulate in fat-rich tissues (e.g., fish liver) and in products like milk. They have been detected in a large amount of food raw materials. Therefore it is urgent to find ways to purify such materials.

## Abstract This study investigated the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of geranium essential oil from geranium (__Pelargonium graveolens__) using supercritical carbon dioxide solvent. The extraction yield was measured as a function of pressure, temperature and carbon dioxide flow rate. At low

## Abstract The objective of this study was to extract oil and tocopherols from almond seeds using supercritical carbon dioxide and to compare this extraction with a traditional solvent method. Oil and tocopherol extraction rates were determined as functions of the pressure (350–550 bar), temperatu
