The Journal of Supercritical Fluids

The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes.

The Journal aims to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics. It publishes original contributions in all aspects of the science and technology of supercritical fluids, as well as timely review articles*. Submissions on novel research that bring insightful contributions regarding sustainability are particularly welcomed.

The Journal publishes topics including:

• Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, transcritical phenomena, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, particle generation, nucleation and growth, impregnation, chromatography).

• Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in natural products, food, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, medical devices and implants, (nano)materials, aerogels, minerals, fuels, chemicals and polymer industries.

• Novel research that brings insightful contributions regarding sustainability. Papers dealing with modern energy systems, energy conversion technologies, supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle, or with biomass utilization, waste remediation and advanced oxidation processes.

• Latest advances in process design, process intensification and waste minimization, or microfluidics in sub-critical or supercritical environments.

• High pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, novel instrumentation, new experimental methodologies and techniques, predictive procedures, process analytical technology (PAT) and process control methodologies, or life cycle assessment as related to systems under pressure.

However, research reporting on experimental optimization of procedures, correlation of results with neural networks, statistical analyses or similar methods will only be considered when they provide substantial new insight into the theory and practice of supercritical fluids and are compared with present theoretical models or molecular-based simulations.

The Journal does not accept submissions on studies containing methods or evaluations related to animal research.

*Authors are requested to complete a Review Proposal Form for Editorial approval prior to submission of the review article. Proposals can be submitted to Professor Elisabeth Badens ([email protected]).
