Extraction of Chromium(III) and Chromium(VI) Species from Solid Matrices Using Green Solvent Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Extraction of chromium(III) and chromium(VI) species from solid matrices using green solvent supercritical carbon dioxide.

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) provides an environmentally green technique to decontaminate chromium species from solid matrices using supercritical fluid carbon dioxide (ScCO2). Methanol and a small amount of water were found to significantly improve the extraction efficiency. The fluorinated chelating agent lithium bis(trifluoroethyl)-dithiocarbamate (LiFDDC) was effective in removing C...

Extraction of Citrus Flavonoids from Peel of Citrus Junos Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide with Polar Solvent

Abstract Citrus juice processing residues are mainly composed of peel, juice sack and seed. The peel, especially, consists of bioactive compounds such as flavones. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction of flavonoid was carried out at a pressure of 30 MPa and temperature ranging from 80 to 160°C. Ratio of water and ethanol as a co-solvent was varied from 0 to 100%. Flavonoids such as ...
