ABSTRACT:
A pressure control apparatus is used in an apparatus for effecting extraction, chromatographic separation, and fractionation. The pressure control apparatus is intended to reduce the amount of a fluid stagnating in a valve, and is arranged to cyclically open and close the valve, thereby controlling the level of pressure. An apparatus for effecting extraction, chromatographic separation, and fractionation is designed to perform in an on-line manner the extraction of soluble components contained in a sample as well as the separation and fractionation of the components. A chromatography is connected to a downstream side of a supercritical fluid extraction device, and the aforesaid pressure control apparatus is used as back-pressure regulators (9, 18) for the chromatography and the extraction device. An extraction fluid and an elution fluid which are used in a mobile phase may be a common fluid (FIG. 1) or separate fluids (FIG. 10). At the time of extraction, the soluble components of the sample within an extraction vessel (6) is extracted by a supercritical fluid, and is delivered to an adsorption column (14). The supercritical fluid is converted into a gas by reducing the pressure within the adsorption column and thus the solubility of the fluid is lowered so that the resultant extract is adsorbed by an adsorbent packed in this column. At the time of chromatographic separation, the pressure within the adsorption column (14) is maintained at a critical pressure or higher and thus an extract is eluted by the supercritical fluid and is delivered to a separation column (16), in which the extract is separated into individual components. Then, when the pressure within the adsorption column is reduced, the supercritical fluid is gasified and the result components are collected as fractions.
