## Abstract BACKGROUND: Supercritical drying (SCD) of aerogels entails replacement of the primary solvent ethanol in the porous solid network with supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO~2~) without a vaporβliquid interface to avoid collapse of the pores by capillary forces. The present paper proposes a

Supercritical fluids have high selectivity thanks to the fact that their solvating power can be varied either physically or chemically. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO 2 ) in combination with silica gel can successfully be applied to fractionate essential oils. By modifying the elution strength
Titania/silica mesoporous composites have been prepared with nanoscale casting process using activated carbon as template in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO 2 ). The composite precursor of tetrabutyl titanate and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) were dissolved in supercritical CO 2 , and then coa
