Antiradical Efficiency of Essential Oils from Plant Seeds Obtained by Supercritical CO2, Soxhlet Extraction,and Hydrodistillation

The effect of supercritical CO₂ (SCCO₂) extraction conditions (pressure and temperature) on the system performance as well as the antiradical efficiencies of the essential oils from Japanese pepper (Xanthoxylum piperitum DC.), cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton), and fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seeds were investigated. A control study with the conventional Soxhlet extraction and hydrodistillation was also conducted to compare the performance of those processes. Antiradical efficiencies were investigated by utilizing 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay with a UV-vis spectrophotometer. Higher pressure and temperature had positive effects on the supercritical process performance due to higher CO₂ density and substrate solubility in SCCO₂. Antiradical efficiencies of cardamom and pepper were almost the same, being significantly higher than that of fennel seeds. However, this effect decreased dramatically for all the spices when the extraction method was changed to Soxhlet extraction and hydrodistillation. SCCO₂ extraction was found to yield more quality and effective essential oils than Soxhlet extraction and hydrodistillation.

Supercritical CO2 Extraction of Essential Oil from Origanum Vulgare L.: Experiments and Mathematical Modeling

In this work, the supercritical CO₂ extraction of essential oil from Origanum Vulgare L. was investigated and modeled. An orthogonal test and ANOVA indicated that extraction pressure, extraction temperature, and extraction time had significant influence on extraction effects. Based on experiments, a mathematical model depended on mass conservation equation was established to describe and simulate supercritical CO₂ extraction of essential oil from Origanum Vulgare L. The mean diameter, accumulation properties, and the inside and outside transfer properties of extracted material particles were considered in the model. The model was solved numerically with the finite difference method and Runge-Kutta method synthetically. Model estimation was validated with small scale experimental data. Moreover, the effects of extraction pressure, extraction temperature, extraction time, concentration, and the flow rate of the entrainer on mass of essential oil were investigated using the model.     

Supercritical CO2 extraction of flaxseed

Extraction of flaxseed oil was performed with supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂). To investigate the effects of pressure and temperature on the solubility of oil and oil yield, three isobaric (21, 35, and 55 MPa) and two isothermal (50 and 70°C) extraction conditions were selected. Although the maximal solubility of flaxseed oil, 11.3 mg oil/g CO₂, was obtained at 70°C/55 MPa, the oil yield obtained after 3 h of extraction at this condition was only 25% (g oil/g seed×100), which represented 66% of the total available oil of the flaxseed. Lipid composition and FFA and tocol (tocopherol and tocotrienol) contents of the oils obtained by both SC-CO₂ and petroleum ether extraction were determined. The α-linolenic acid content of the SC-CO₂-extracted oil was higher than that obtained by solvent extraction.     

Supercritical fluid extraction of sunflower seed oil with CO2-ethanol mixtures

The effect of ethanol addition to supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂), up to 20%, on sunflower seed oil extraction over the range of 150 to 350 bars and 42 to 80°C was studied. A nonrecirculating home-made bench-scale system was used as extraction equipment. The oil-SC-CO₂-ethanol mixture was reduced to atmospheric pressure in a test tube, where two phases, oil and ethanol, were obtained and ethanol-saturated CO₂ was liberated to the atmosphere. Results show that sunflower oil solubility in SC-CO₂ greatly increases with addition of ethanol as entrainer over the whole range of pressure and temperature conditions. Some phospholipids are co-extracted at levels directly proportional to the added ethanol. Moreover, a large amount of phospholipids was recovered in the ethanolic phase. Acidity of the extracted oil with ethanol as entrainer was lower than that without alcohol. Part of the free fatty acids was found in the ethanolic phase.     

Synthesis of Silica Nanofluid and Application to CO2 Absorption

Abstract

This study focused on the synthesis of stable nanofluids and their direct application to the CO₂ absorption process. A sol-gel process was used as the synthesis method of nanoparticles in nanofluid. The particle size and stability were determined by SEM image and zeta potential of the nanofluid. Three types of nanofluids containing approximately 30 nm, 70 nm, and 120 nm particles were synthesized and all nanofluids had a stable zeta potential of approximately ? 45 mV. Addition of nanoparticles increased the average absorption rate of 76% during the first 1 minute and total absorption amount of 24% in water. The capacity coefficient of CO₂ absorption in the nanofluid is 4 times higher than water without nanoparticles, because the small bubble sizes in the nanofluid have large mass transfer areas and high solubility.     

Phase Behavior of Supercritical CO2 Microemulsion with AOT and its Solubilization Properties of 1,3-propanediol

The phase behaviors of three microemulsion systems were studied in a custom-made volume-variable view cell, including the ternary system of CO₂/EtOH (ethanol)/1,3-PDO (1,3-propanediol), quaternary system of CO₂/EtOH/H₂O/1,3-PDO and quinary system of AOT/CO₂/EtOH/H₂O/1,3-PDO, using 1,3-PDO as the model compound, AOT (sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate) as surfactant and ethanol as co-solvent in the CO₂ continuous phase. The phase behaviors of the AOT/CO₂/EtOH/H₂O/1,3-PDO quinary system were mainly discussed in the temperature range of 29.1°C–44.3°C and pressure range of 6.41 MPa-15.95 MPa. The result shows that a thermodynamically stable microemulsion can be formed by controlling the operating pressures and temperatures, which can provide basic thermodynamics data for industrial design and proper operating conditions for selectively solubilizing 1,3-PDO from dilute aqueous solution.     

Supercritical CO2 extraction of egg yolk: Impact of temperature and entrainer on residual protein

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to monitor changes in protein conformation resulting from supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) extraction of lipids from egg yolk. Extraction temperatures of 65°C and lower had no effect on protein conformation as indicated by similar denaturation temperatures and enthalpies of denaturation (ΔH). An extraction temperature of 75°C resulted in a reduction in the ΔH value for ovalbumin present in the egg yolk. The use of 3% methanol as an entrainer during extraction at 36 MPa and 40°C resulted in a 50% reduction in the ΔH value for ovalbumin. The use of high temperatures and/or entrainers during SC-CO₂ extraction can result in significant protein denaturation.     

Enrichment,in vitro,and quantification study of antidiabetic compounds from neglected weed Mimosa pudica using supercritical CO2 and CO2-Soxhlet

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) using carbon dioxide (CO₂) and liquid CO₂ using Soxhlet (CO₂-Soxhlet) extraction were employed to extract three (3) antidiabetic compounds viz. stigmasterol, quercetin, and avicularin from Mimosa pudica. Various extraction parameters were studied. Extracts were analyzed pharmacologically, qualitatively and quantitatively to ascertain enrichment levels. All three antidiabetic compounds were effectively enriched under optimized conditions of temperature 60°C, pressure 40 MPa, co-solvent ratio 30%, and CO₂ flow rate of 5 ml min^?1. SFE was found to be the better method for enrichment of the antidiabetic compounds than the CO₂-Soxhlet method. Extraction conditions were seen to affect the enrichment of desired compounds.     

Supercritical CO2 extraction of essential oil from yarrow

Essential oil was extracted from yarrow flowers (Achillea millefolium) with supercritical CO₂ at pressure of 10 MPa and temperatures of 40–60 °C, and its composition and yield were compared with those of hydrodistillate. The yield of total extract, measured in dependence on extraction time, was affected by extraction temperature but not by particle size of ground flowers. CO₂-extraction of cuticular waxes was lowest at 60 °C. Major essential oil components were camphor (26.4% in extract, 38.4% in distillate), 1,8-cineole (9.6% in extract, 16.2% in distillate), bornyl acetate (16.7% in extract, 4.3% in distillate), γ-terpinene (9.0% in extract, 9.4% in distillate), and terpinolene (7.6% in extract, 3.9% in distillate). Compared to hydrodistillation, the yield of monoterpenes was lower due to their incomplete separation from gaseous CO₂ in trap but the yield of less volatile components like monoterpene acetates and sesquiterpenes was higher. Hydrolysis of γ-terpinene and terpinolene, occuring in hydrodistillation, was suppressed in supercritical extraction, particularly at extraction temperature of 40 °C.     

Optimization of a High Pressure CO2 Antisolvent Process for the Recycling of Polystyrene Wastes

The recycling of polystyrene wastes by precipitation from limonene solutions using CO₂ as antisolvent is an alternative and original environmentally friendly route to recover high quality wastes. The most suitable working conditions to conduct the process are selected based on the accurate knowledge of the phase equilibrium for the ternary mixture. To maximize the recycling of polymeric wastes while the consumption of CO₂ and limonene is minimized, high values of pressure (≥100 bar), low values of temperature (≤30°C) and moderated concentrations of polymer (≤0.4 g PS/ml limonene) are required.     

Economic Assessment of Supercritical CO2 Extraction of Waxes as Part of a Maize Stover Biorefinery

To date limited work has focused on assessing the economic viability of scCO₂ extraction to obtain waxes as part of a biorefinery. This work estimates the economic costs for wax extraction from maize stover. The cost of manufacture (COM) for maize stover wax extraction was found to be €88.89 per kg of wax, with the fixed capital investment (FCI) and utility costs (C_UT) contributing significantly to the COM. However, this value is based solely on scCO₂ extraction of waxes and does not take into account the downstream processing of the biomass following extraction. The cost of extracting wax from maize stover can be reduced by utilizing pelletized leaves and combusting the residual biomass to generate electricity. This would lead to an overall cost of €10.87 per kg of wax (based on 27% combustion efficiency for electricity generation) and €4.56 per kg of wax (based on 43% combustion efficiency for electricity generation). A sensitivity analysis study showed that utility costs (cost of electricity) had the greatest effect on the COM.     

Extraction of peanut skin oil by modified supercritical carbon dioxide: Empirical modelling and optimization

ABSTRACT

Peanut skin is a waste by-product from peanut industries. It is rich in antioxidants and bioactive compounds. Therefore, the objective of this study was to empirically model and optimize supercritical CO₂ extraction of oil from peanut skin. The extraction conditions were pressure (100, 200 and 300 bar), temperature (313, 328 and 343 K) and rate of modifier ethanol (0.075, 0.15 and 0.225 mL/min). The extraction process was subsequently examined using modified Brunner and Esquivel models. The optimum conditions for extraction peanut skin oil were 279 bar, 70°C and rate of modifier of 7.5% with a maximum yield of peanut skin oil of 0.83 g and initial slope of 0.568 g/min.

Dehydrogenation of Ethylbenzene to Styrene in the Presence of CO2 over Calcined Hydrotalcite-Like Compounds as Catalysts

Calcined hydrotalcite-like compounds were effective catalysts for the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene in the presence of CO₂ as an oxidant. X-ray diffraction patterns suggested that the catalyst components are distributed uniformly. The activity (areal rate) of Fe(1)/Al(2)/Zn(6) oxide catalyst (molar ratios in parentheses) was the highest among the catalysts tested.     

Pressure-Swing Adsorption Separation of H2S from CO2 with Molecular Sieves 4A, 5A,and 13X

The separation of bulk quantities of H₂S from CO₂ was investigated through a series of pressure-swing adsorption experiments utilizing 4A, 5A, and 13X molecular sieves. High selectivity of H₂S over CO₂ was encountered for all sieves, particularly for the 13X and 5A. Practically pure CO₂ was produced in the adsorption stage with fresh 5A and 13X sieves, at high product recovery rates. Efficient H₂S purification was obtained with fresh 5A and regenerated 4A zeolites. The experimental results were in line with theoretical predictions of the literature.     

The Di-t-butylation of p-cresol with t-butanol in Supercritical CO2 over Tungstophosphoric Acid Supported on Ordered Mesoporous Silica

Tungstophosphoric acid (HPW) supported on MCM-41 was an excellent catalyst for the t-butylation of p-cresol to 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol (2,6-DTBPC) in supercritical CO₂; however, zeolites, H-Y and H-Beta, only gave 2-t-butyl-4-methylphenol (2-TBPC) because of their limitation in pore size. The yield of 2,6-DTBPC was maximized at 110 °C, and further increase in temperature rather decreased the yield. The yield of 2,6-DTBPC was maximized at 10–11 MPa CO₂ pressure, and further increase of the pressure decreased in the conversion of phenol and the yield of 2,4-DTBC. The thermogravimetric analysis of used catalysts showed that the coke-formation was minimized in supercritical CO₂ compared to the other reaction media such as in liquid phase and in N₂ atmosphere.
