Supercritical CO2 a high quality solvent ... Carbon dioxide critical point (31°C and 74 bar) is of high interest: supercritical processes may be performed under mild conditions. And it has many other interesting properties... - non toxic, - high purity, - odourless, - taste free, - chemically inert, - low temperature, - non flammable, - solvent free. Supercritical CO2 has a good solvent power for lipophilic compounds with low molecular weight. It has disinfecting properties versus micro-organisms. 3, record 1, English, - supercritical%20CO2

Le CO2 supercritique comme solvant. Avec une faible température critique(31°C), le CO2 se positionne en tête des fluides supercritiques industriels : il permet de développer des procédés à basse température pour des produits thermosensibles. Il présente par ailleurs de nombreuses propriétés qui en font un solvant de choix...-non toxique,-pas de solvant résiduel,-chimiquement inerte,-inodore,-insipide,-basse température,-non inflammable,-haute pureté. D'une manière générale, le CO2 supercritique permet de solubiliser des composés apolaires et de faible poids moléculaire. Il présente des propriétés désinfectantes vis-à-vis des virus et bactéries, bien qu'on ne puisse parler de stérilisation. 3, record 1, French, - CO2%20supercritique

Tailings slurry from the extraction plant contain water, residual bitumen, sand, silt and clay, and solvent. The slurry is pumped into large settling basins or ponds, where the coarse sand quickly separates from the fine clays and silts. The silts and clays settle out to form a layer which consolidates very slowly. When this layer reaches 30 percent solids by weight ..., it is called "mature fine tails". 1, record 2, English, - mature%20fine%20tail

Les boues résiduaires des usines d’extraction contiennent de l'eau, du bitume résiduel, du sable, du limon et de l'argile, et des solvants. Elles sont pompées dans de vastes bassins ou étangs de décantation où le sable grossier se sépare rapidement de l'argile et du limon fins. Le limon et l'argile se déposent pour former une couche qui se solidifie très lentement. Quand celle-ci atteint une concentration de 30 % de matières solides en poids [...], elle forme ce qu'on appelle des «résidus fins mûrs». 1, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9sidu%20fin%20m%C3%BBr
