Gas Solubility of Carbon Dioxide in Poly(lactic acid) at High Pressures

Gas Solubility of Carbon Dioxide in Poly(lactic acid) at High Pressures: Thermal Treatment Effect

The sorption of carbon dioxide in glassy Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films was studied by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) at high pressures. Two thermal treatments, melted and quenched, were performed in PLA with two different L:D contents, 80:20 and 98:2, films and compared with a third thermal protocol, annealed, and used in a previous work. The results obtained show that for pressures higher t...

The Equilibrium Solubility of Carbon Dioxide in the Mixed Aqueous Solutions of Triisopropanolamine and Monoethanolamine in the Range 30-70 C and Low Partial Pressures

The equilibrium solubility data of CO2 in the various aqueous blends of triisopropanolamine (TIPA) + monoethanolamine (MEA) with the total alkanolamine concentration of 2 mole / dm3 were measured at the temperatures of 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 oC and CO2 partial pressures below 100 kPa. The experiments were done in an atmospheric gas absorption syste...

Batch Foaming of Amorphous Poly (DL-Lactic Acid) and Poly (Lactic Acid-co-Glycolic Acid) with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: CO2 Solubility, Intermolecular Interaction, Rheology and Morphology

Novel silicon dioxide -based nanocomposites as an antimicrobial in poly (lactic acid) nanocomposites films

Objective(s): Due to nanocomposites antimicrobial properties, one of the most extensive usages of nano-products is in packing industry. Thus, the production of packages with nanotechnology can effectively prevent against a variety of microorganisms. In this study, the silicon dioxide nanoparticles the poly (lactic acid) PLA films on antimicrobial and permeability was investigated. Methods...

CARBON DIOXIDE MINIMUM MISCIBILITY PRESSURE ESTIMATION (CASE STUDY)

Carbon dioxide flooding is considered to be one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery methods for the light oil reservoirs. Depending on the operating pressure, the process might be miscible or immiscible. Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is the most important parameter for assessing the applicability of any miscible gas flood for an oil reservoir. The miscibility condition is determine...
