Supercritical Fluid Extraction
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the mechanism and technology of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). It gains increasing favor in that it uses supercritical fluids that are primarily inert gases moved beyond critical point by heat or pressure changes and has been able to replace the use of organic solvents in many types of applications. While there is reduced solvency for some compounds when compared to results possible with organic solvents, the environmental and regulatory benefits of avoiding those organic solvents contribute to the increasing popularity of supercritical fluid extraction. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Thank You Mr. Edison! History of Electricity in the U.S.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Prior to the electric light bulb, illumination was by fire from candles, kerosene and oil lamps, and coal-gas jets. With the advent of electricity, the advantages of electric lamps for interior lighting over flickering, sooty, open flames were readily apparent, and demand for electricity skyrocketed. The excitement and enthusiasm over electricity's beginnings could be heard from one coast to the next. (Newspaper accounts are used as reporting tools) Bibliography lists 3 sources.
