A Design of Parameters with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Brayton Cycle for CiADS

Sterilization of Microorganisms with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Thc sterilizing effect of supercritical carben dioxide (SC-CO,) is described as compared with gaseous C02(G-CO,) and liquid CO,(L-CO,). Baker's yeast, ltscherichia eoli, Staphylococcus aure us and eonidia'ofAspergiilus niger were sterilized by treating with SC-CO, at 200 atm and 350C when the water contcnt of each microorganism was 70 .90%, However, dry cells with a water content of 2 .1O% coul...

Building better plastics with supercritical carbon dioxide

Nanocomposite plastics are a promising class of materials with a range of applications, particularly in the automotive industry. By incorporating mineral material of nanoscale dimensions, the mechanical properties of the bulk plastic, such as strength, thermal stability, and flame retardance, are drastically improved, with little to no impact on other favorable properties such as low weight. In...

Measurement and Modeling of Acridine Solubility in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Supercritical carbon dioxide has gained increasing attention in food and pharmaceutical processing owing to the fact that it is environmentally inexpensive, not flammable, essentially non-toxic, and it has a convenient critical point. Also, it has been attracting much attention in many fields, such as extraction of sensitive materials and pharmaceutical processing and polymerization processes. ...

Reactions in supercritical carbon dioxide

Use of conventional organic solvents often leads to the formation of hazardous waste, the disposal of which is a matter of environmental concern. Carbon dioxide is considered to be a green reaction medium and a good replacement for conventional organic solvents as it is benign and leads to elimination/reduction of hazardous wastes. Use of CO2 at near/above critical conditions has several additi...
