Water in supercritical carbon dioxide dyeing

Amino Acid Synthesis in a Supercritical Carbon Dioxide - Water System

Mars is a CO(2)-abundant planet, whereas early Earth is thought to be also CO(2)-abundant. In addition, water was also discovered on Mars in 2008. From the facts and theory, we assumed that soda fountains were present on both planets, and this affected amino acid synthesis. Here, using a supercritical CO(2)/liquid H(2)O (10:1) system which mimicked crust soda fountains, we demonstrate productio...

Polymerizations in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide.

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...

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. ...

Pond Sludge : Electrokinetics , Carbon Dioxide Extraction , and Supercritical Water Oxidation

At DOE sites, significant amounts of Job Control Waste (JCW) need to be disposed. This JCW is generated and contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) during clean-up operations. A commercial, plant-based absorbent material, “Toxi-dry”, is used extensively for decontamination and decommissioning of DOE waste sites and is classified a hazardous JCW after use. In this investigation, 1,2,4...
