Mass transfer characteristics were determined for countercurrent extraction in a spray column with su-percritical carbon dioxide solvent. Feeds were 5 and 10 vol% aqueous ethanol and iso-propanol at 25-65℃ and 6.89-15.51MPa. Results obtained in a 22mm inside diameter column showed enhanced extraction efficiencies over comparable liq-uid-liquid systems. The models based on conventional liquid-liquid extraction were modified to correlate overall mass transfer coefficients for supercritical conditions. The constant value in the model of measuring individual mass transfer coefficient was influenced by the density of carbon dioxide and the system used.
