Asymmetric Hydroformylation of Styrene in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Development of Heterogeneous Catalysts for Hydroformylation of 1-hexene in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

The hydroformylation of alkenes is a major commercial process used for the production of oxygenated organic compounds. Commercial hydroformylation processes may produce significant quantities of waste material. When the hydroformylation reaction is performed using a homogeneous catalyst, an organic or aqueous solvent is employed and a significant effort must be expended to recover the catalyst ...

Hydroformylation of 1-hexene in supercritical carbon dioxide: characterization, activity, and regioselectivity studies.

The hydroformylation of alkenes is a major commercial process used for the production of oxygenated organic compounds. When the hydroformylation reaction is performed using a homogeneous catalyst, an organic or aqueous solvent is employed, and a significant effort must be expended to recover the catalyst so it can be recycled. Development of a selective heterogeneous catalyst would allow simpli...

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. ...

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...
