Phase equilibrium of two CO2+ biodegradable oil systems up to 72 MPa

A setup based on a static visual synthetic method for determining phase equilibria up to 100 MPa is presented. Solubilities of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in a high-oleic sunflower oil (HOSO) and in an additivated vegetable lubricant (BIO-2T-05) were determined from 298 K to 363 K up to CO₂ mass compositions of 0.42. The experimental device was verified comparing the solubilities of CO₂ in HOSO with values from other laboratory. For both systems, the values of CO₂ solubility show cross-over pressures among the different isotherms. A new equation was used to correlate the solubility data, with deviations in CO₂ mole fraction in the oil-rich phase lower than 1.6%. The prediction ability of Carvalho and Coutinho equation was tested with experimental data. Vapor–liquid–liquid equilibria were also investigated for CO₂ + BIO-2T-05 in the range 288–305 K. Furthermore, densities and viscosities at 0.1 MPa for BIO-2T-05 were measured from 278 K to 373 K.

Solubility of niflumic acid and celecoxib in supercritical carbon dioxide

The solubility data of two fluorinated and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, niflumic acid (CAS No. 4394-00-7) and celecoxib (CAS No. 169590-42-5), in supercritical carbon dioxide were measured with a semi-flow type phase equilibrium apparatus at temperatures ranging from 313.2 K to 353.2 K and pressures up to 31 MPa. At the highest extraction temperature and pressure, the solubilities are 2.09 × 10⁻⁵ and 1.52 × 10⁻⁵ in mole fraction for niflumic acid and celecoxib, respectively. The saturated solubility data were correlated with the Chrastil model, the Mendez-Santiago–Teja equation, and the Peng–Robinson equation of state. The Chrastil model fitted the experimental data to about within the experimental uncertainty. The correlated results of the Mendez-Santiago–Teja model confirmed the consistency of the solubility data over the entire experimental conditions. Incorporating with two-parameter van der Waals one-fluid mixing rules, the Peng–Robinson equation of state represents satisfactorily the gas–solid equilibrium behavior of niflumic acid and celecoxib in supercritical carbon dioxide.     

Experimental measurements and modeling of CO2 solubility in sunflower,castor and rapeseed oils

In this work solubility measurements of CO₂ in three vegetable oils, a high oleic sunflower oil (HOSO), a castor oil and a rapeseed oil, for mole fractions ranging from 0.32 to 0.93 in the temperature range 298–363 K and up to 75 MPa were performed. Moreover, the densities and viscosities of these oils are reported from 278.15 to 373.15 K at atmospheric pressure. These data were used to evaluate the predictive ability of the fragment based approach. Solubility data were modeled by means of the SRK EoS and predicted employing the Carvalho and Coutinho correlation. Global average deviations inferior to 6% in CO₂ mole fraction composition were achieved with the SRK EoS and maximum percentage absolute average deviations of 13% in pressure were obtained using the Carvalho and Coutinho correlation.     

High pressure phase behavior for the propionitrile and butyronitrile in supercritical carbon dioxide

Pressure-composition isotherms for the (carbon dioxide + propionitrile) and (carbon dioxide + butyronitrile) systems are measured in static-type high pressure apparatus at several temperatures of 313.2, 333.2, 353.2, 373.2 and 393.2 K and at pressures range from 3.5 to 16.7 MPa. The carbon dioxide + nitriles systems have continuous critical mixture (local) curves that exhibit maximums in pressure–temperature space between the critical point of carbon dioxide and monomers (propionitrile or butyronitrile). At a fixed pressure, the solubility of propionitrile or butyronitrile for the two binary systems increases as the temperature increases. The (carbon dioxide + propionitrile) and (carbon dioxide + butyronitrile) systems exhibit type-I phase behavior. The experimental results for the (carbon dioxide + propionitrile) and (carbon dioxide + butyronitrile) systems are correlated with Peng–Robinson equation of state using mixing rule including two adjustable parameters.     

Phase equilibria of alcohols in supercritical fluids Part II. The effect of side branching on C8 alcohols in supercritical carbon dioxide

This paper is a continuation of a previous study and investigated the phase equilibria of six C₈ alcohols (2,2,4-trimethyl-1-pentanol, 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentanol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 2-propyl-1-pentanol, 4-methyl-3-heptanol and 6-methyl-2-heptanol) in supercritical carbon dioxide. Data has been measured between 308 and 348 K for alcohol mass fractions between 0.660 and 0.0162. The results show that the position, size and quantity of side chains have a significant effect on the phase behaviour by changing the shape of the molecule and the effect of the hydroxyl group on the polarity of the molecule. The pressure required for total solubility increases in the following sequence: 4-methyl-3-heptanol < 2,2,4-trimethyl-1-pentanol < 6-methyl-2-heptanol < 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentanol < 2-propyl-1-pentanol < 2-ethyl-1-hexanol < 1-octanol. The difference in phase behaviour is believed to be a result of a difference in shielding of the hydroxyl group. Greater shielding of the hydroxyl group results in a less asymmetric system, and this, in turn, results in higher solubility of the molecule.     

High pressure density and solubility for the CO2 + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate system

The solubility and density of the CO₂ + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate system were investigated. The carbon dioxide solubility in the IL was measured in the temperature range 273–413 K, for pressure up to 5 MPa and CO₂ mole fractions ranging from 0.02 to 0.5 using the isochoric method, while the system density was carried out at temperatures ranging from 278.15 K to 398.15 K, pressures from 10 MPa to 120 MPa and 0.2, 0.4, 0.7 and 0.8 CO₂ mole fractions. Similar to what was previously observed for phosphonate-based ILs, the ionic liquid high polarity leads to positive deviations from ideality resulting from unfavorable interactions with the CO₂.The results from the density and solubility derived properties show that the system presents important negative excess molar volumes, over the whole range of compositions and temperatures, and a negative entropy of solvation that suggests an increase in ordering of the solvent molecules surrounding the solute. The observed negative excess molar volumes result from the large difference between the molecular volumes of the species involved, with the small carbon dioxide molecules occupying the empty spaces between the larger IL ions, supporting the notion that the carbon dioxide, upon dissolution, occupies essentially the bulk free volume since the IL does not significantly expand upon gas absorption. These results portray ionic liquids as a porous media, like a soft sponge, with a huge free volume in which large amounts of carbon dioxide are able to accommodate during the dissolution process.     

Phase equilibrium data on carbon dioxide hydrate in the presence of electrolytes,water soluble polymers and montmorillonite

Equilibrium formation conditions for carbon dioxide hydrate were measured in pure water and in aqueous polymer and electrolyte solutions. The solutions that were used include: polyethylene oxide, partially (10 and 90 percent) hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, sodium chloride and calcium chloride. Experiments with solutions containing both electrolyte and polymers were also performed. It was found that the electrolytes exhibited a substantial inhibiting effect whereas the polymers only slightly altered the equilibrium hydrate formation conditions. The measured equilibrium formation pressures were compared with the predictions from existing hydrate equilibria methods and were found to be in good agreement. The effect of montmorillonite was also studied and it was found that it did not affect the equilibrium hydrate formation conditions. A total of 101 experimental measurements are reported.     

超临界二氧化碳与二苯醚相平衡研究

为了解决煤焦油及其轻质化产物中二苯醚的萃取精馏分离问题以及为后续的高效分离过程提供工程数据,本文自行设计并搭建了一套流动法可视化高温高压相平衡测定装置,对二苯醚-二氧化碳体系的相平衡数据进行了测定,测定温度为313.15K、333.15K和353.15K,测定压力为8～18MPa,并使用Peng-Robinson (PR)和Soave-Redlich-Kwong（SRK）状态方程结合Quadratic、Adachi-Sugie、Mathias-Klotz-Prausnitz混合规则对的超临界二氧化碳与二苯醚相平衡数据进行了关联计算,关联结果表明PR和SRK状态方程结合AS混合规则可以获得较为准确的关联结果,而传统二次型混合规则得到的计算结果误差相对较大。此外,关联计算还表明,选择合适的混合规则后,不同状态方程的关联结果相差不大。这表明,对于低挥发性的液体与二氧化碳这类非对称混合物体系,相平衡模拟计算的关键在于选取合适的混合规则。     

A comparison between semiempirical equations to predict the solubility of pharmaceutical compounds in supercritical carbon dioxide

The aim of this work is to determine, depending on the operation conditions, which semiempirical equation provides the best fit to solubility data of pharmaceutical compounds in supercritical CO₂. Solubility data from 27 different pharmaceutical solutes were collected from literature and the different density-based models (Chrastil, Adachi-Lu, del Valle-Aguilera, Sparks, Kumar-Johnston, Bartle, Méndez Santiago-Teja) together with the Yu's model and Gordillo's model were employed. The results showed that, in general, Sparks’ equation provides the best fit to the solubility data for this kind of solids in supercritical CO₂. However, at certain specific conditions, the best correlation is obtained using Gordillo's equation. By means of a brief comparison with Peng-Robinson equation of state, semiempirical equations present a more accuracy prediction compared to cubic equations of state, and present no drawbacks such as properties estimation and computational difficulties.     

Combined high hydrostatic pressure and carbon dioxide inactivation of pectin methylesterase,polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase in feijoa puree

A combined treatment of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and dense phase carbon dioxide (DPCD) was investigated to inactivate pectin methylesterase (PME), peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in feijoa (Acca sellowiana) puree. The treatments were HHP (HHP); carbonation and HHP (HHPcarb); carbonation + addition of 8.5 mL CO₂/g puree into the headspace of the package and HHP (HHPcarb + CO₂). The different samples were treated at 300, 450 and 600 MPa, for 5 min.The residual POD and PPO activity decreased in the order HHP > HHPcarb > HHPcarb + CO₂ at all pressures used. Treatments with HHP at 300 MPa increased POD activity to 140%. The residual PME activity of HHPcarb and HHPcarb + CO₂ samples at 600 MPa (45–50%) was significantly (p < 0.05) lower than for HHP treatment (65%).The simultaneous application of HHP and DPCD seems to synergistically enhance the inactivation of the enzymes studied, the CO₂ concentration being a key process factor.

Correlation and estimation of solubilities of fatty acids in supercritical carbon dioxide using solution model approach

In this study, solid solubility data of five fatty acids in supercritical carbon dioxide (CO₂) at different temperatures and pressures are correlated using a two-parameter solution model developed from the regular solution model coupled with the Flory⿿Huggins equation. The developed solution model with fewer parameters yields correlated results comparable to those from commonly used semi-empirical equations. In addition, both parameters in the solution model can be further generalized with the chain length of fatty acids and a new predictive solution model is proposed for solubility prediction. The predictive solution model proposed in this study provides better predicted results and yields average deviation in predicted solubilities of 22.1%. To further apply this solution model to other compounds, solid solubility data of three triglycerides in supercritical CO₂ at 313 K are also correlated. After model simplification and generalization, a new predictive solution model for triglycerides is also proposed, which yields average deviation in predicted solubilities of 29.8%. These results demonstrate that the solution model used in this study is applicable for correlation and prediction of solid solubilities of structure-related compounds in supercritical CO₂.     

Formulation of a new generic density-based model for modeling solubility of polyphenols in supercritical carbon dioxide and ethanol

The aim of this work is to present a first approach in formulating a generic model for polyphenols solubility in ternary mixtures (polyphenol + ethanol + sc-CO₂). Solubility data of six polyphenols were collected from the literature, and six different groups of parameters were proposed for the new generic model in order to evaluate their effects and find the best set for each polyphenol. Likewise, four dimensional groups of factors were proposed to evaluate the effect of dimensions on solubility data calculation. The results show that the originally formulated model and its modifications are particularly useful in calculating polyphenols solubility data; for instance, when resveratrol solubility data was fitted, the AARD decreased from a value of 38.52 to 14.03, upon changing from a simple to a complex model. Additionally, this generic model with a specific modification can estimate solubility maxima occurring in the ternary resveratrol + ethanol + sc-CO₂ system.     

A comparative study of poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene/clay nanocomposites prepared in supercritical carbon dioxide

Poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene/clay nanocomposites have been prepared via pseudo-dispersion polymerizations in the presence of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) surfactant-modified clay (PDMS-clay) in supercritical carbon dioxide. The effects of the PDMS-clay concentration on polymer conversion, molecular weight, and morphology have been investigated. The insoluble dispersion of PDMS-clay is shown to be an effective stabilizer for both MMA and styrene polymerization in scCO₂. The nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). While XRD shows featureless patterns for both nanocomposites, the actual distributions of clay are found to be quite different between PMMA and PS nanocomposites, presumably due to the different interaction mechanisms between the polymers and clay. Consequently, the different states of clay in the two nanocomposites play an important role in the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites, and a to a lesser degree in the thermal properties.     

Copolymerization of carbon dioxide and propylene oxide with highly effective zinc hexacyanocobaltate(III)-based coordination catalyst

Copolymerization of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide was successfully carried out by using double metal cyanide complex (DMC) based on Zn₃[Co(CN)₆]₂. It has been found that this catalyst demonstrated highly enhanced catalytic activity over 1000 g copolymer per gram of Zn₃[Co(CN)₆]₂ compared with its analog based on Zn₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂. The copolymers prepared were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, the molar fraction of CO₂ (F_CO2) for copolymer was as high as 0.31 under optimum condition. Propylene carbonate was also identified as co-product by the spectrometry. The study showed that lower temperature is favorable for incorporation of CO₂ into copolymer instead of propylene carbonate, and F_CO2 is significantly influenced by amount of catalyst used. The kind of complexing agent employed in preparation impacted on the catalytic activity, but not yet for F_CO2.     

Evaluation of density-based models for the solubility of solids in supercritical carbon dioxide and formulation of a new model

Many models have been developed to calculate supercritical solubility behavior and most can be either a semi-empirical relationship or based on an equation of state. In this work, density-based, semi-empirical models were evaluated in terms of their ability to accurately correlate solid solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide. The models considered were the methods of Chrastil, del Valle and Aguilera, Adachi and Lu, Méndez-Santiago and Teja, and Bartle. Six binary systems (solid + supercritical carbon dioxide), each with three isotherms, were selected for this evaluation. The average error was calculated for all 18 isotherms with each of the models evaluated. The solid compounds used in this study were naphthalene, anthracene, fluorene, hydroquinone, 1,5-naphthalenediamine, and cholesterol. The solubility data were obtained from literature. Of the previously mentioned models, the Adachi-Lu and del Valle-Aguilera equations provided, in general, lower average error than the other models. Since the Adachi-Lu equation and the del Valle-Aguilera equation correct for different effects, a new model is proposed in this work as a combination of the previous two methods. The proposed equation provided the least overall average error compared to all other models considered in this study. The new model is particularly useful when the reduced density of the solvent is below 1 where previous models tend to fail. This work also emphasizes on the advantages of expressing density-based models in dimensionless form to avoid dimensional inconsistencies in Chrastil-type models. One of the benefits, for example, is that parameters obtained by different authors can be readily compared, regardless of the units used.     

Morphological changes in poly(?-caprolactone) in dense carbon dioxide

Morphological changes that take place in poly(?-caprolactone) upon exposure to carbon dioxide at high pressures have been explored as a function of pressure and temperature. SEM and DSC results point to a competition between CO₂-modulated crystallization and pressure-induced phase separation which leads to unique morphologies. At 293 K, exposure to CO₂ at pressures up to 45 MPa leads to recrystallization resulting in higher level of crystallinity and higher melting temperatures. Highest crystallinity levels along with distinct crystal morphology were observed after exposure to CO₂ at 308 K and 21 MPa. At a higher pressure at this temperature (308 K/34 MPa) polymer undergoes melting, and foaming is achieved during depressurization prior to solidification. At 323 K, the polymer is found to display unique crystal morphology with concave crystal geometry as well as porous domains. The results are discussed in terms of the crystallization and phase separation paths that are followed during exposure to CO₂ and the depressurization stages.
