Solute-solute and solute-solvent clustering of N,Ndimethylaminobenzonitrile and ethyl N,N-dimethylaminobenzoate in supercritical fluoroform, supercritical carbon dioxide, and supercritical fluoroform-carbon dioxide mixtures are quantitatively evaluated from the dependence of the relative contributions of the locally excited (LE) state and the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) emissi...

The gas-like mass transfer properties and liquid-like solvation characteristics of supercritical fluid make it a promising medium in performing extractory and chromatographic separations, i.e., supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), respectively. The tunable solvation properties of supercritical carbon dioxide not only improve SFE's efficiency and spe...

The advantage of the application of the supercritical extraction in contrast to the conventional methods to prepare micro and nanoparticles is that the product no longer is exposed to high temperatures for a long time. Furthermore, the supercritical extraction offers the possibility to reduce the content of the residual organic solvent in the final product because of the high solubility of orga...

This paper primarily concerns strictly supercritical fluid models, which arise as functional law of large numbers approximations for overloaded processor sharing queues. Analogous results for critical fluid models associated with heavily loaded processor sharing queues are contained in Gromoll et al. [9] and Puha and Williams [15]. An important distinction between critical and strictly supercri...

a pressurized fluid extraction (pfe) method for the extraction of pistachio oil was developed using a modified supercritical fluid extractor. the supercritical fluid extraction apparatus was modified to be able to pump liquid solvent and co2 into the extraction vessel alternatively. the experimental results showed that the extraction yield was independent of the extraction pressure. it was also...

in this study, the diffusivity and volumetric mass transfer coefficients for the extraction of β-carotene from crude palm oil using co2 solvent in supercritical fluid were determined in the pressure range of 7.5-17.5 mpa and temperature range of 80-120 ºc. for this purpose, a statistical method was applied in order to minimize the number of experiments required. the volumetric mass transfer coe...

Supercritical fluid extract and ethanol extract of Vitex negundo Linn. were subjected to the chromatographic evaluation for identification of their constituents. Free radical scavenging activity of both extracts was studied by subjecting them to DPPH assay. IC(50) values of ethanol and supercritical fluid extract of Vitex negundo indicate that ethanol extract has stronger reducing potential and...

Subduction-zone magmatism is triggered by the addition of H(2)O-rich slab-derived components: aqueous fluid, hydrous partial melts, or supercritical fluids from the subducting slab. Geochemical analyses of island arc basalts suggest two slab-derived signatures of a melt and a fluid. These two liquids unite to a supercritical fluid under pressure and temperature conditions beyond a critical endp...

Trichlorocarbanilide has widely been used in cosmetics and household products, but the extremely low solubility of trichlorocarbanilide in water constrains the development of water-based products. In order to enhance the bioavailability, trichlorocarbanilide were micronized using supercritical fluid. Supercritical carbon dioxide was selected due to relatively low critical temperature and the ra...

The design and development of processes involving supercritical fluids depend on how easy the phase equilibrium can be accurately modelled and predicted. In the work described herein, the supercritical fluid-solid equilibrium has been considered. Modelling the fluid-solid equilibrium is associated with a number of drawbacks, even when it is possible to obtain the experimental solubility data fo...
