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. ...

Reactions in supercritical carbon dioxide

Use of conventional organic solvents often leads to the formation of hazardous waste, the disposal of which is a matter of environmental concern. Carbon dioxide is considered to be a green reaction medium and a good replacement for conventional organic solvents as it is benign and leads to elimination/reduction of hazardous wastes. Use of CO2 at near/above critical conditions has several additi...

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...

Solubility of Tridodecylamine in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Using a continuous flow apparatus, the solubility of tridodecylamine (TDA) in supercritical CO2 (scCO2), have been measured at temperatures of 308, 318, and 328 K in the pressure range of (8-40) MPa and a flow rate of 150 ± 10 mL min. At 308 and 318 K the solubility increases with pressure up to 15 MPa where it reaches a plateau. At 328 K the solubility increases with pressure up to 35 MPa and ...
