Talk:Supercritical carbon dioxide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone know if there are any safety concerns with CO2 in its supercritical sate?

This is in refrence to Geosequestration (a type of CSS). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.29.214.2 (talk • contribs)

I know that the process has many safety requirements since it is always done under very high pressure. Besides that, I don't know of any environmental of health safety concerns since the CO2 used is always (I think) reclaimed. Sjschen 16:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Surfactants?

I've read that some companies have produced surfactant molecules that dissolve in supercritical CO2 to assist it's properties in dry cleaning. Interestingly, these surfactants form inside-out micelles (tails pointing outwards). Can anyone expand on this, by any chance? --Xanthine 18:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup need

All those http links within the text should be treated thusly:

  1. click on those http links, and get a heading/author from the links,
  2. rewrite http link from http://www.here.org/ to [http://www.here.org/ heading/author some such]
  3. surround [http://www.here.org/ heading/author some such] with <ref></ref> so that the link constitutes a nice link

And near the end of the article add the lines

I would do it myself, but I'm a little busy for now. Said: Rursus 21:02, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
