Supercritical CO2 Extraction of Ethanol
نویسنده
چکیده
Extraction of ethanol was studied from both synthetic ethanol solution and fermentation broth using supercritical CO2 in an extraction apparatus in ranges of 313 to 333 K and 80 to 160 atmospheres, for varying extraction times. The experimental system consists mainly of four parts: a CO 2 storage system, a high-pressure liquid pump, an extractor and a product collection unit. Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography. Effects of temperature, pressure, extraction time, initial ethanol concentration and consecutive solvent feeding on extraction yield were investigated. It was found that increasing the initial ethanol concentration and extraction pressure and decreasing the extraction temperature increased the extraction yield. In addition, it was observed that consecutive solvent feeding affected the extraction yield positively. With the Box-Wilson experimental design method, optimum extraction conditions in a batch system for 15% (v/v) ethanol solution were found to be 313 K, 133 atmospheres and 30 minutes. Extraction yields were found to be 5.8 % for one-step and 19.2 % for three-step extraction of fermentation broth.

متن کاملSelective Extraction of Phospholipids from Egg Yolk with Supercritical Co2
It is well known that supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) is very efficient to remove neutral lipids from a variety of matrices, such as plant seeds [1]. The valuable, polar phospholipids (PL) remain behind, which is ascribed to their limited solubility in SC-CO2 [2]. Typically, they are extracted by adding a polar modifier such as methanol or ethanol to the supercritical fluid (SC-fluid) [2-4]. In a re...

This article carried out the extraction of sesame oil by using three extraction techniques: supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), Soxhlet and sequential extraction. The SFE was performed using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) as solvent and ethanol as cosolvent. Tests were performed at 20 MPa, 35°C and a flow rate of 2.5 g CO2/min with a total extraction time of 210 minutes. The Soxhlet ex...
متن کاملSupercritical extraction of astaxanthin from H. pluvialis using ethanol-modified CO2. Experiments and modeling
Haematoccocus pluvialis is the main natural source of astaxanthin. Extraction with SuperCritical (SC) carbon dioxide (CO2) is an interesting choice for astaxanthin recovery because the medium-to-high yield, high selectivity for high-value compounds, and avoidance of thermal damage to labile bioactive compounds. In the case of heavy and/polar compounds such as astaxanthin, yield can be increased...
