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.

The Chemistry of Cocaine and Its Effects
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the history, chemistry and effects of cocaine and its usage in Western society. Originating in 1860 in Western society, cocaine has been used extensively as a recreational drug. Synthetic cocaine is now produced because of the increased effort in the restrictions of obtaining drug from its natural source. Recently researchers have found that the dopamine hypothesis can account for the psychological effects of the drug while the physiological effects include tachycardia, hypertension and renal failure. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
