Notes:
---The performance and feasibility of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) applied to the extraction of some antioxidants (Irganox 1076, Irgafos 168) and one UV-stabilizer (Chimassorb 81) from both virgin and recycled low density polyethylene (LDPE), and virgin high density polyethylene (HDPE) are studied. Due to the high number of variables a full-factorial design has been applied to minimize the number of experiments required to reach the optimum extraction conditions. Further analysis has been carried out off-line by reversed-phase HPLC. Modification of the physical properties of the polymeric matrix and increased number of recycling cycles as well as the influence of physical properties on the efficiency of SFE are also discussed.
