solubility of high molecular weight n-paraffins in supercritical carbon dioxide has been a matter of interest to many researchers. however, not sufficient solubility experimental data are available although the methods by which the experimental data are obtained have many varieties. utilizing cubic equations of state is an effective method for solubility prediction of n-paraffins in supercritic...

supercritical carbon dioxide has gained increasing attention in food and pharmaceutical processing owing to the fact that it is environmentally inexpensive, not flammable, essentially non-toxic, and it has a convenient critical point. also, it has been attracting much attention in many fields, such as extraction of sensitive materials and pharmaceutical processing and polymerization processes. ...

Numerical studies have been carried out to investigate flow instabilities in a natural circulation loop with supercritical CO2. For steady-state and dynamic analyses of the loop under supercritical conditions, a single-channel, one-dimensional model is developed. In this model, equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and energy are discretized using an implicit finite difference scheme...

Using NMR spectroscopy and NMR imaging, the behaviour of polymers in supercritical CO2 (sc-CO2) using a custom-made cell designed from poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) has been observed. The mechanism of swelling of polymers in sc-CO2 and the overall effects of sc-CO2 on the transport properties of both small and large molecules has been studied. We report on the swelling characteristics of radi...

in this work, the solubility of nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves, found in the north of iran, in supercritical carbon dioxide has been measured. also the effects of pressure, temperature, extraction dynamic time, and the organic co-solvent on the amount of nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves have been investigated. it should be stressed that in order to reduce significantly the number ...

There are many difficulties in the purification of raw components and products. However, researchers are seeking better ways for purification. One of the recent methods is extraction using supercritical fluids. In this study, the phase equilibria of benzoic acid -supercritical carbon dioxide system were investigated. Regarding the phase equilibria of this system, the modeling of solid-supercrit...

A fast and selective ultrahigh-performance supercritical fluid chromatography photodiode array detector method was established for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of destruxins, cyclic hexadepsipeptides, from fungal culture broth samples. Prior to analysis, sample purification was carried out using an off-line solid-phase extraction protocol on a reversed-phase material in order to re...

Supercritical accretion flows inevitably produce radiation-pressure driven outflows, which will Compton up-scatter soft photons from the underlying accretion flow, thereby making hard emission. We perform two dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations of supercritical accretion flows and outflows, incorporating such Compton scattering effects, and demonstrate that there appears a new hard s...

Recent advance in understanding the supercritical state posits the existence of a new line above the critical point separating two physically distinct states of matter: rigid liquid and non-rigid gas-like fluid. The location of this line, the Frenkel line, remains unknown for important real systems. Here, we map the Frenkel line on the phase diagram of supercritical iron using molecular dynamic...
