Silver bismuth iodide (SBI) materials have recently gained attention as nontoxic alternatives to lead perovskites. Although most of the studies been focusing on photovoltaic performance, inherent ionic nature SBI materials, their diffusive behavior, and influence material/device stability is underexplored. Herein, AgBi2I7, Ag2BiI5, Ag3BiI6 thin films are developed in controlled ambient humidity...

Crystallization plays an important role in separation and purification of the antibiotics. And it is also an indispensable step in preparation of pharmaceuticals with biological activities and specific crystal form. As the last step in purification, crystallization determines the puri‐ ty, crystal habit, granularity and its distribution as well as pharmacologic effect, biologic ac‐ tivity and p...

An environmentally benign antisolvent method has been developed to prepare Cu(2+)-doped ZnO nanocrystals with controllable dopant concentrations. A room temperature ionic liquid, known as a deep eutectic solvent (DES), was used as the solvent to dissolve ZnO powders. Upon the introduction of the ZnO-containing DES into a bad solvent which shows no solvation to ZnO, ZnO was precipitated and grow...

In the present study, solid dispersion nanoparticles with a hydrophilic polymer and surfactant were developed using the supercritical antisolvent (SAS) process to improve the dissolution and oral absorption of megestrol acetate. The physicochemical properties of the megestrol acetate solid dispersion nanoparticles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calo...

One of the most important environmental concerns for the polymer industry is to produce new products with near-zero residual monomer content. A new process based on supercritical CO2 has been successfully tested for the extraction of the residual monomer and the simultaneous micronization of the polymer. The process has been tested on a pilot-scale plant. The reduction of methyl methacrylate (M...

A complete description of the Supercritical Antisolvent Process requires the modelling of several complex physical phenomena such as heat and mass transfer, hydrodynamic, phase equilibria of ternary mixtures, and nucleation /growth of the specie to be precipitated; moreover, the description should also account for the biphasic case, where the jet of organic solvent breaks up as droplets. As a f...

This paper presents a thorough simulation and experimental evaluation of the concentration control approach for batch and semibatch crystallization. The sensitivity of concentration feedback control is assessed in the case of various disturbances that result in excessive nucleation events. The enhanced robustness of the concentration control is demonstrated against the widely used direct operat...

Objective(S): In this work, paclitaxel (PX), a promising anticancer drug, was loaded in the basil seed mucilage (BSM) aerogels by implementation of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) technology. Then, the effects of operating conditions were studied on the PX mean particle size (MPS), particle size distribution (PSD) and drug loading efficiency (DLE). <stron...
