Continuous-flow homogeneous catalysis using the temperature-controlled solvent properties of supercritical carbon dioxide.

چکیده
A fully integrated continuous process for homogeneous catalysed reactions in scCO(2) has been developed exploiting the tunable solvent properties of scCO(2). A heated condenser situated above the reaction zone leads to a phase split under isobaric conditions resulting in efficient catalyst retention and recirculation. Continuous isomerisation of allylic alcohols was carried out for over 200 hours time-on-stream demonstrating the viability of this approach.

Continuous Synthesis of Oleyl Oleate in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide using Solid p-Toluenesulfonic Acid as Catalyst
Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) was used as solvent to synthesize oleyl oleate as an analog of Jojoba oil from oleic acid and oleyl alcohol with high conversion (100%) of the acid into ester in a short time of 100 min. Utilizing a low cost solid catalyst, p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTSA), the esterification reaction was performed, without any prior preparation step...
متن کاملRecent advances in catalyst immobilization using supercritical carbon dioxide*
Homogeneous organometallic catalysts have a great potential for the development of sustainable synthetic processes. There is, however, an urgent need for the development of new techniques to separate products and catalysts efficiently, allowing for recycling and reuse of the precious catalyst. The unique solvent properties of supercritical carbon dioxide offer new approaches for the immobilizat...
متن کاملHomogeneous Catalysis and Catalyst Recovery Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide and Ionic Liquids
The combination of scCO2 with a non-volatile liquid such as ionic liquids, water, or poly(ethylene glycol) creates a biphasic mixture suitable for homogeneous catalysis with facile catalyst/product separation and catalyst recycling. Continuous-flow processes are also possible. Dissolution of the CO2 into the nonvolatile liquid during the reaction can have desirable or undesirable effects on the...

The enzymatic degradation of chemically synthesized typical biodegradable plastics, such as poly(R,S-3-hydroxybutanoate), poly(3caprolactone) and poly(butylene adipate), into reactive cyclic oligomers under the continuous flow of supercritical or subcritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) with toluene through an enzyme column was studied with reference to chemical recycling. It was confirmed that all t...
متن کاملA Continuous Extraction and Pumpless Supercritical CO2 Drying System for Laboratory-Scale Aerogel Production
Production of aerogels starts with solution chemistry and may end with supercritical carbon dioxide drying, which both require a specialized system. Here we present a complete aerogel production system that was developed and used in our laboratory over the last nine years. Our aim was to develop a supercritical dryer and a protocol, whereby the CO2 pump can be left out, and the entire flow syst...
