As higher levels of modifier are employed in supercritical fluid extraction, selectivity is diminished. This work discusses several strategies for improving selectivity in the extraction of digoxin from Digitalis lanata leaves. The three strategies for improving selectivity which were studied includ

β¦ Synopsis
Aqueous supercritical fluids at pressures of 7 to 10 MPa and temperatures from 350 to 500Β°C are effective media for the extraction of oils from coals. The most reactive coal macerals are exinite and resinite, and the oils formed have a high content of straight-chain paraffms. Vitrinite is converted only when carbon monoxide is present in the aqueous fluid; these oils consist primarily of aromatic and polar components and, in contrast to exinite derived material, contain only small quantities of paraffins. Micrinite and semi-fusinite are inert. Addition of Na,CO, to the fluid enhances vitrinite conversion markedly and also makes semi-fusinite more reactive. It is proposed that the formation of extractable material results from aqueous decarboxylation reactions of ester groups and from hydrolysis of ethers and sulphur-and nitrogen-functional groups. The hydrolysis reactions are considered to be enhanced by carbon monoxide as the result of increased ionic strength of the aqueous fluid due to formate and other CO/H,0 ionic interaction products.
