Extraction of Clove and Vetiver Oils with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: Modeling and Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The kinetics of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of clove and vetiver oils using carbon dioxide as solvent was studied, in order to establish an efficient method to predict extraction curves on large scale. The mass transfer model of Sovová was used to adjust the experimental SFE data, which were obtained at 100 bar and 35 °C for clove and 200 bar and 40 °C for vetiver, using extraction columns of different geometry and solvent flow rates. Some other process parameters, such as bed density and porosity, solvent to feed ratio and solvent velocity were kept constant from one experiment to another, in order to verify if the mass transfer coefficients adjusted by the model varied. The results show that the model of Sovová was able to predict an overall extraction curve for clove from data obtained with twenty times less raw material, since the mass transfer coefficients remained the same and the predicted curves were similar to the observed ones. For vetiver, the simulation was not as effective, probably due to the effects of transport properties on the process.

Supercritical CO2 extraction of oregano and clove buds mixture-synergistic effect and chemical composition of extract
The goal of present study was to investigate kinetics of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2) extraction of essential oils from dried clove buds and oregano leaves. Total extract yields after exhaustion of plant material at 10 MPa and 40°C (after consumption of 94.3 kgCO2/kg plant material) were 18.2% and 1.0 %, respectively. Synergistic effect in the extraction process was also investigated u...
