A wide range of supercritical fluids (SCFs) have been studied as solvents for electrochemistry with carbon dioxide and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) being the most extensively studied. Recent advances have shown that it is possible to get well-resolved voltammetry in SCFs by suitable choice of the conditions and the electrolyte. In this review, we discuss the voltammetry obtained in these systems, ...

Supercritical carbon dioxide is a promising green-chemistry solvent for many enzyme-catalyzed chemical reactions, yet the striking stability of some enzymes in such unconventional environments is not well understood. Here, we investigate the stabilization of the Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB) in supercritical carbon dioxide-water biphasic systems using molecular dynamics simulations. The pr...

A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a miniature cylindrical carbon structure that has hexagonalgraphite molecules attached at the edges. Nanotubes look like a powder or black soot, but they'reactually rolled-up sheets of graphene that form hollow strands with walls that are only one atom thick.Carbon nanotube has been one of the most actively explored materials in recent year(s) due to...

Supercritical carbon dioxide has currently received a lot of attention as attractive media for the production of small and solvent-free particles. Rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (RESS) technique has been paid much attention and has been expected as an effective and environmentally friendly nanoparticle design method. In this study, the production of nanoparticles of RS-(±)-ibuprofen...

This paper proposes a new type of solar energy based power generation system using supercritical carbon dioxide and heat storage. The power generation cycle uses supercritical carbon dioxide as the working fluid and integrates the supercritical carbon dioxide cycle with an efficient high-temperature heat storage. The analysis shows that the new power generation system has significantly higher s...

Supercritical fluids have a unique and valuable potential for the enhanced processing of many materials. This review describes research in the applications of supercritical fluids to polymer processing. The ability of supercritical carbon dioxide to swell and plasticize polymers is crucial to the impregnation, extraction, and modification of polymeric materials. This plasticization also reduces...

The design and development of processes involving supercritical fluids depend on how easy the phase equilibrium can be accurately modelled and predicted. In the work described herein, the supercritical fluid-solid equilibrium has been considered. Modelling the fluid-solid equilibrium is associated with a number of drawbacks, even when it is possible to obtain the experimental solubility data fo...

Supercritical carbon dioxide extracts of Cinnamomum tamala (bay) leaves obtained at 55°C, 512 bar was found to have appreciable nutraceutical properties and was successfully employed as value-added ingredients in preparation of tofu. The bay leaf formulated tofu sample was evaluated for physicochemical properties (pH, texture analysis and lipid peroxidation), proximate analysis, phytochemical p...
