What Does PFE Stand For?
PFE stands for Pressurized Fluid Extraction
PFE, or Pressurized Fluid Extraction, is an efficient and environmentally friendly extraction technique used to isolate compounds from solid or liquid samples. By employing pressurized solvents, typically supercritical fluids, PFE enhances the solubility and mass transfer of target compounds, resulting in quicker extraction times and higher yields. This method is widely utilized in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, and environmental analysis, for its ability to produce high-quality extracts while minimizing solvent consumption and reducing waste.
