Partial Molar Volumes of Methanol and Ethanol at Infinite Dilution in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide.

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. ...

Measurements of binary diffusion coefficients, retention factors and partial molar volumes for myristoleic acid and its methyl ester in supercritical carbon dioxide.

The binary diffusion coefficients, D(12), and retention factors for myristoleic acid and its methyl ester at infinite dilution were measured by the chromatographic impulse response technique in supercritical carbon dioxide at temperatures of 313.2, 333.2 and 343.2 K and pressures from 9.2 to 30 MPa for the acid, and from 8.0 to 14 MPa for the ester. Although the D(12) values were represented by...

Synthesis of polyvinyl pyridine/C60 conjugates in supercritical carbon dioxide*

In the present investigation efforts have been made to synthesis polyvinyl pyridine (PvPy) /C60 conjugates through 2, 2-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) initiated insitu polymerization of PvPy in scCO2.The process of synthesis was monitored under different reaction conditions ranging 1200-1800psi, 60-90 oC over 6 hours. The progress of polymerization was monitored rheoviscometrically. The concentr...

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...
