Supercritical fluids and, in particular, supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2 ) are a promising alternative to the use of organic media in enzymatic catalysis (see Chapter 24 and Chapter 25). Among the advantages associated with SCCO2 are its nontoxicity, nonflammability, and relative cheapness. In addition, diffusivities in SCCO2 are high, and the SC fluid offers the possibility of an integrated separation process (1 ).
