A pressure vessel arrangement comprises an external pressure vessel and at least one insert basket in the pressure vessel for receiving a substance to be treated which is exposable to a pressure fluid which is feedable to the pressure vessel and the insert basket. There is provided a control device for the internal pressure prevailing in the insert basket, in particular in the form of a switchable pressure compensation line connecting the interior of the insert basket directly to the surroundings, i.e. not via the pressure vessel.

The invention relates to a method for decaffeinating tea (). The method involves of using, as an extraction agent, a carbon dioxide which is compressed of a pressure greater than 50 and up to 100 MPa.

This invention relates to a process for extracting nonpolar constituents from natural substances such as hops with simultaneous separation of residues of nonpolar plant protectives (fungicides/insecticides). In a first step, the plant protective as well as other ingredients that are soluble under the chosen conditions is extracted with compressed gases, and in a subsequent stage, the dissolved mixture is passed through an adsorbent and the plant protective is selectively removed from the mixture.
