Abstract: In this paper the technology of the CO2 supercritical fluid extraction of the oil from camphor tree seed were studiedin the lab. The effects of the pressure, temperature and flowing rate of supercritical carbon dioxide on the process of the extractionwere investigated. The results showed that the optimal conditions of the extraction were 40℃, 20MPa, 120min and the flow rate35kg/h. The yield of oil extracted from camphor tree seed was over 94.3%

Key words: supercritical fluid extraction, camphor tree seed, oil
