Some supercritical fluids are able to replace toxic industrial solvents. So, from an industrial point of view, supercritical fluids are widely used in many fields such as pharmacy, food industry and environment. From a scientific point of view, the main interest of supercritical fluids is connected to the possibility to adjust continuously the physicochemical properties of these reactive media, such as selectivity, solvation, solubility or reactivity...
