← ScienceWhich consequence occurs during supercritical carbon dioxide extraction operated beyond specifications?
A)Reduced extraction yield and efficiency✓
B)Increased back pressure and cavitation
C)Maintained fluid density uniformity
D)Decreased solvent selectivity abnormally quickly
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the operational thresholds causes unpredictable, unmodeled turbulence within extraction vessels. This inhibits efficient mixing and mass transfer because turbulent eddies disrupt laminar flow, therefore extraction yield decreases rather than any benefit occuring.
