Gray Box Modeling of Supercritical Nimbin Extraction from Neem Seeds Using Methanol as Co-Solvent
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper yield of nimbin extraction from neem seeds using supercritical carbon dioxide with methanol as co-solvent has been studied. In this case mass transfer coefficient in terms of Sherwood number has been estimated by a neuro-fuzzy network. Then the estimated mass transfer coefficient has been fed to the system model which is set of partial differential equations. The proposed gray box model was validated with experimental data.

In this work, optimization of supercritical methanol extraction and transesterification for the production of biodiesel was investigated using Jatropha curcas L. seeds. Several important process parameters including heat pre-treatment (45°C-105°C for 12 and 24 hours), particle size (0.5 mm-2.0 mm) and temperature (200°C-300°C) were being studied by varying one factor at a time. The experiment w...

Azadirachtin the active principle of Azadirachta-indica J. Juss. (Neem) ranges from 0.3 to 0.6 percent. A simplified procedure, when compared to established methods, has been developed to enrich azadirachtin-A to 50 percent using minimum possible steps without resorting to chromatographic techniques. It involves additional partition with CCl4 before final extraction which removes most of nimbin...
