SUPERCRITICAL FLUIDS:AN INTRO

Supercritical fluid is defined as a substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point where the liquid and gas phases do not exist. (1)

Critical point: The point of highest temperature and pressure at which the substance can exist as gas and liquid in equilibrium. (2) It can diffuse through solids like gases and dissolves materials like liquids. (1)

SUPERCRITICAL FLUID CHROMATOGRAPHY:AN INTRO

Supercritical fluid chromatography is a chromatographic technique that uses supercritical fluids as the mobile phase It has few advantages over gas chromagraphy that is gas chromatography is suitable only for volatile solvents as mobile phase.

Solubility with the capability to use nonselect gas phase detector is the major advantage of supercritical fluid chromatography(SFC).

CRYSTALLIZATION

Hai bloggers,

Hope everyone is having great time enjoying this pool of knowledge. This month as my first blog I am going to post on a crispy topic, 'CRYSTALLIZATION'

CRYSTALLIZATION[1][2] - Crystallization is a solidification process. It is the process in which particles will get arranged themselves into regular geometric patterns. The product obtained after crystallization is called CRYSTAL.

FLUIDIZATION

FLUIDIZATION

When gas is introduced from the bottom of bed of solid particles, the gas moves upwards and move through the spaces between the solid particles. If the velocity of gas is low then the aerodynamic drag on the particles is also low and the solid bed will be in a fixed state.

Case study 1: Influence of bariatric surgeries on fertility

Hello Bloggers,

In my second blog I am going to discuss about the influence of bariatric surgeries on fertility based on some case studies.

Obesity shows many negative effects on the reproduction. Some adverse effects of obesity include irregularities in the menstrual cycle, anovulation, miscarriage and infertility in women. And in men, low testosterone levels, reduced spermatogenesis & erectile dysfunction are observed.[1][2]
