Dense CO₂ as a Solute, Co-Solute or Co-Solvent in Particle Formation Processes: A Review.

ABSTRACT: The application of dense gases in particle formation processes has attracted great attention due to documented advantages over conventional technologies. In particular, the use of dense CO₂ in the process has been subject of many works and explored in a variety of different techniques. This article presents a review of the current available techniques in use in particle formation processes, focusing exclusively on those employing dense CO₂ as a solute, co-solute or co-solvent during the process, such as PGSS (Particles from gas-saturated solutions^®), CPF (Concentrated Powder Form^®), CPCSP (Continuous Powder Coating Spraying Process), CAN-BD (Carbon dioxide Assisted Nebulization with a Bubble Dryer^®), SEA (Supercritical Enhanced Atomization), SAA (Supercriti
