Abstract

This chapter is a survey of the trends and applications of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) in the field of petroleum industry and related applications: simulated distillation, group-type separations, and related applications including the implementation of multidetection to build an “hypernated” system. The hyphenation of SFC to gas chromatography (GC) or GC×GC is also a interesting tool for group-type separation as well as SFC×GC. Promising features of SFC×SFC are also presented. For the newcomers in the field, specific technical information related to the use of flame-ionization detection (or detectors that require decompression and in some instances splitting of the mobile phase prior detection) in combination to SFC is also discussed including the uncommon use of capillary columns in the world of SFC. The chapter ends with a conclusion on the improvements of systems that would be desirable for enhanced separations involving neat CO2 as the mobile phase.
