Which risk increases when supercritical carbon dioxide's pressure fluctuates in industrial extraction?

A)Solute decomposition rate reduction
B)Optimized mass transfer stability
C)Extraction selectivity decrease
D)Increased operational energy efficiency

💡 Explanation

A pressure drop below the critical point causes deposition because of phase separation, causing decreased extraction selectivity, rather than optimized mass transfer; therefore, product purity declines as components precipitate, rather than remaining solvated.
