The possibility of using the method of supercritical fluid extraction for purifying the product of synthesis of salicylic acid is revealed and confirmed experimentally. A continuous-flow experimental setup is used to investigate the solubility of salicylic acid and phenol in supercritical CO 2 and to purify the product of synthesis of salicylic acid at a temperature of 308 K in the pressure range from 7.8 to 12 MPa. The salicylic acid content of the resultant product conforms to the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia.

An enzymatic-cavitation method for the biological treatment of organic-containing wastewater and sludge treatment has been developed, according to which the air supply is carried out not by compressors, but rather ejectors. In addition, low-intensity cavitation is provided. The biological treatment of the wastewater has been performed at a temperature of 10-42°C. The energy consumption of the process is reduced by six times, while the time of sludge treatment is 8-10 h at a pressure of 0.30-0.35 MPa. The treated sludge has some adsorptive properties.
