This study examines the chemical and engineering reasons why cleaning and particle-removal applications involving pressurized liquid and supercritical CO{sub 2} have been successful, and not. It is possible to predict which applications involving CO{sub 2} cleaning are likely to be successful, and which are not. The two key issues, which apply to use of any solvent for cleaning work, are: (1) How well the Hansen Solubility Parameters of the solvent match those of the soil - either chemical or polymer; and (2) How well the physical properties of the solvent augment the removal methods intended to liberate soil and particles from the substrate to be cleaned.
