Abstract
Extraction with supercritical gases combines, to a certain extent, the characteristics of both distillation and extraction; the term βdestractionβ is therefore proposed for this method of separation. The principles of the method are illustrated in this article by a series of color photographs comparing extraction and destraction. Of the practical uses of this new method may be mentioned the separation of codβliver oil into 50 fractions, each differing in saponification value and iodine number, by means of supercritical ethane and, in particular, the decaffeination of raw coffee with supercritical carbon dioxide.

The viscosities of polystyrene melts containing three different dissolved gases, carbon dioxide, and the refrigerants R134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) and R152a (1,1-difluoroethane) are investigated at pressures up to 20 MPa. These pressures reach near-critical and supercritical conditions for the
