"Subcritical water extraction (SWE) technology is more environmentally friendly and less expensive than conventional extraction methods. While experimental results on SWE technology have been published piecemeal, there has been a lack of a comprehensive review of the state of the art. This book fills that gap, serving as one of the first books to cover extracting with subcritical water as an environmentally friendly solvent. This monograph is aimed at researchers and advanced students in chemical and biochemical engineering"--
