    摘要: Glass preforms are cleaned by contacting each preform (11) with supercritical carbon dioxide which dissolves residual index-matching oil on the preform. The liquefied carbon dioxide is then converted to gaseous carbon dioxide which conveniently separates the index-matching oil so that it can be recovered and reused. The gaseous carbon dioxide is likewise recycled for use in cleaning other preforms, and so there is substantially no waste.
