Conclusions 28 Literature 29 Appendix List of solubility of selected compounds in near critical CO2 40 Summary This report contains a survey on the application fields of the SuperCritical (SC) technique available in open literature. This with the intention to explore those areas of the technique that can be implemented as an alternative for traditional processes which have a negative impact on the environment. This project is a part of the programme "Clean Technology" at RIZA which is concerned with the development of new or improved processes and products that have less negative impact on the environment. The programme "Clean Technology" focuses on pro- cesses which may be implemented within the next 10-20 years. In recent years SuperCritical Fluids (SCF) have gained considerable importance as media in various fields of application such as extraction, fractionation, chemical and enzymatic reactions, etc. The special physical properties of SCF distinguish it from liquids and gases. An SCF has a liquid like density but its viscosity is more like that of a gas, resulting in diffusion coefficients that are much higher than diffusion coefficients in liquids. The solubilities of SCF appear to be virtually exponential in density, which means small pressure changes can result in enormous solubility variations. This gives the opportunity to put chemicals into the solution or drop them out very selectively. For this reason SCF is an excellent candidate as: i. an alternative for replacing organic solvents in extraction processes; ii. a media for suppression of undesired by-products in chemical and enzymatic reactions which results in higher selectivity; iii. a media for the ultimate destruction of organic materials which are difficult to oxidize by conventional methods; iv. a technique in analytical gas chromatography; v. a technique in polymer processing technology. Most of the application fields are in the developmental and/or research stage and there is a lack of information on the cost aspect. There is no general rule to evaluate the process viability of an SCF application. For each case in which one considers use of this technique, an evaluation should be done to investigate if the process has additional (environmental and economical) advantages compared to the traditional process. Backgrounds The programme "Clean Technology" is concerned with the development of new or improved processes and products that have less negative impact on the environ- ment. This programme focuses on processes which may be implemented within the next 10-20 years. The programme Clean Technology in his turn is a part of the SPA development programme (SPA = Clean Technology, Prevention and Wastewater Treatment) which started in 1991 in the Institute for Inland Water Management and Waste Water Treatment, RIZA1, the Netherlands (SPA programme plan, 1995, Senhorst, 1995). One of the topics within the programme "Clean Technology" is the replacing of wet processes with dry processes. In this framework a feasibility study has been done on the dyeing of polyester in SuperCritical (SC) CO2 (Van Asselt et al., 1994a, 1994b). The results of this study show that the SC-CO2 dyeing of polyester is a good alternative for the conventional (water based) process, considering the impact on the environment. It appears that the environment related costs are sub- stantially lower for SC-CO2 dyeing than for the conventional dyeing process. A number of questions though have not yet been answered, such as solubilities and influence of entrainer on the solubility of dyes in SC-CO2. To find an answer to these questions and in general to make an inventory of the use of the SC Fluid (SCF) technique as an alternative for the existing water based processes a literatu- re survey has been done, as is presented here. This literature survey may be used as a guideline for further work on the use of the SCF technique for the replacing of wet processes with dry processes. 1 Rijksinstituut voor Integraal Zoetwaterbeheer en Afvalwaterbehandeling 4 1. Introduction During the past 20 years SuperCritical Fluid (SCF) processing has developed from a laboratory scale to commercial processes. The relatively new processes include coffee decaffeination, hops extraction, catalyst regeneration, extraction of organic wastes from water and soil and SCF chromatography. These applications complement older technologies such as Residuum Oil Supercritical Extraction process (ROSE), propane deasphalting and reaction processes for the production of polyethylene and primary alcohols in SCF ethylene. Table 1 shows a short list of SCF processes which are constructed by several companies and have been taken in operation during the last 10 years. Uhde is by far the major supplier of SCF systems.

There are many other smaller and larger plants which are not mentioned in table 1 because of the confidential state of the process or a lack of information in the open literature, for example the tobacco denicotinization plant of Philip Morris in U.S. or the tea decaffeination plant of SKW Trostberg. The very special physical properties of SCF distinguish it from liquid and gases. An SCF has a liquid-like density but its viscosity is more like that of a gas, resulting in diffusion coefficients that are much higher than those in liquids. Table 2 shows a comparison of these characteristics for a gas, liquid and SCF. Table 3 shows the critical pressure and the temperature of various compounds. The solubilities of SCF appear to be virtually exponential in density, which means small pressure changes can result in enormous solubility variations. This gives the opportunity to put chemicals into the solution or drop them out very selectively. Bartle et al., 1990, provide a review of solubilities of low volatility substances (88 compounds) in pure CO2.

Brunner et al., 1994 explain this disinterest of industry by one simple word: "motivation". For example a prohibition of the use of methylene chloride for decaffeinating coffee puts a company in the situation that it has to switch to another component such as 6 benzene. The application of a component such as benzene is of course not an alternative and thus the need for evaluating SC-CO2 as an alternative process becomes alive. This "motivation" plays an important role in the last 10 to 15 years and its reflex may be found in an exponential number of research, patents and published papers on the application of SCF in almost all areas such as food, envi- ronment, pharmaceutical, chemical and enzymatic reaction engineering, analytical techniques, etc. Among the gases which may come in consideration for use in supercritical processing, CO2 plays an important role. CO2 is an attractive organic solvent because it is non-flammable, inexpensive and exhibits low toxicity.

Schlyer, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Chemistry Department, Upton, Bldg. 901, New York 11973-5000, USA Project Description Supercritical fluids are attractive as media for both chemical reactions, as well as process extraction since their physical properties can be manipulated by small changes in pressure and temperature near the critical point of the fluid. What is a supercritical fluid? Above a certain temperature, a vapor can no longer be liquefied regardless of pressure critical temperature - Tc supercritical fluid r«gi on solid a u & temperature Fig. 1. Phase diagram depicting regions of solid, liquid, gas and supercritical fluid behavior. The critical point is defined by a critical pressure (Pc) and critical temperature (Tc) for a particular substance. Such changes can result in drastic effects on density-dependent properties such as solubility, refractive index, dielectric constant, viscosity and diffusivity of the fluid[l,2,3]. This suggests that pressure tuning of a pure supercritical fluid may be a useful means to manipulate chemical reactions on the basis of a thermodynamic solvent effect. It also means that the solvation properties of the fluid can be precisely controlled to enable selective component extraction from a matrix. In recent years there has been a growing interest in applying supercritical fluid extraction to the selective removal of trace metals from solid samples [4-10]. Much of the work has been done on simple systems comprised of inert matrices such as silica or cellulose. Recently, this process as been expanded to environmental samples as well [11,12].

  • Liquid-Liquid Transition in Supercooled Aqueous Solution Involving a Low-Temperature Phase Similar to Low-Density Amorphous Water
    Liquid-liquid transition in supercooled aqueous solution involving a low-temperature phase similar to low-density amorphous water * * # # Sander Woutersen , Michiel Hilbers , Zuofeng Zhao and C. Austen Angell * Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences, University of Amsterdam, Science Park 904,1098 XH Amsterdam, The Netherlands # School of Molecular Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, 85287-1604, USA The striking anomalies in physical properties of supercooled water that were discovered in the 1960-70s, remain incompletely understood and so provide both a source of controversy amongst theoreticians1-5, and a stimulus to experimentalists and simulators to find new ways of penetrating the "crystallization curtain" that effectively shields the problem from solution6,7. Recently a new door on the problem was opened by showing that, in ideal solutions, made using ionic liquid solutes, water anomalies are not destroyed as earlier found for common salt and most molecular solutes, but instead are enhanced to the point of precipitating an apparently first order liquid-liquid transition (LLT)8. The evidence was a spike in apparent heat capacity during cooling that could be fully reversed during reheating before any sign of ice crystallization appeared. Here, we use decoupled-oscillator infrared spectroscopy to define the structural character of this phenomenon using similar down and upscan rates as in the calorimetric study. Thin-film samples also permit slow scans (1 Kmin-1) in which the transition has a width of less than 1 K, and is fully reversible. The OH spectrum changes discontinuously at the phase- transition temperature, indicating a discrete change in hydrogen-bond structure.

Encapsulating the APIs in such systems can help improve their stability by protecting them from harsh conditions such as light, oxygen, temperature, pH, enzymes, and others. Consequently, the API’s dissolution rate and bioavailability are tremendously improved. Conventional techniques used in the production of these drug carrier formulations have several drawbacks, including thermal and chemical stability of the APIs, excessive use of organic solvents, high residual solvent levels, difficult particle size control and distributions, drug loading-related challenges, and time and energy consumption. This review illustrates how supercritical fluid (SCF) technologies can be superior in controlling the morphology of API particles and in the production of drug carriers due to SCF’s non-toxic, inert, economical, and environmentally friendly properties. The SCF’s advantages, benefits, and various preparation methods are discussed. Drug carrier formulations discussed in this review include microparticles, nanoparticles, polymeric membranes, aerogels, microporous foams, solid lipid nanoparticles, and liposomes.

  • Supercritical Pseudoboiling for General Fluids and Its Application To
    Center for Turbulence Research 211 Annual Research Briefs 2016 Supercritical pseudoboiling for general fluids and its application to injection By D.T. Banuti, M. Raju AND M. Ihme 1. Motivation and objectives Transcritical injection has become an ubiquitous phenomenon in energy conversion for space, energy, and transport. Initially investigated mainly in liquid propellant rocket engines (Candel et al. 2006; Oefelein 2006), it has become clear that Diesel engines (Oefelein et al. 2012) and gas turbines operate at similar thermodynamic conditions. A solid physical understanding of high-pressure injection phenomena is necessary to further improve these technical systems. This understanding, however, is still limited. Two recent thermodynamic approaches are being applied to explain experimental observations: The first is concerned with the interface between a jet and its surroundings, in the pursuit of predicting the formation of droplets in binary mixtures. Dahms et al. (2013) have introduced the notion of an interfacial Knudsen number to assess interface thickness and thus the emergence of surface tension. Qiu & Reitz (2015) used stability theory in the framework of liquid - vapor phase equilibrium to address the same question. The second approach is concerned with the bulk behavior of supercritical fluids, especially the phase transition-like pseudoboiling (PB) phenomenon. PB-theory has been successfully applied to explain transcritical jet evolution (Oschwald & Schik 1999; Banuti & Hannemann 2016) in nitrogen injection. The objective of this paper is to generalize the current PB- analysis. First, a classification of different injection types is discussed to provide specific definitions of supercritical injection. Second, PB theory is extended to other fluids { including hydrocarbons { extending the range of its applicability.

  • Supercritical Fluids
    Heliflow Heat Exchanger Applications Supercritical Fluids What are Supercritical Fluids? Supercritical fluids exist when any substance is at a temperature and pressure above its critical point as seen in Figure 1. In this supercritical state, the fluid will have a combination of vapor- and liquid-like properties. Small variations in the pressure or temperature can have an immense impact on the properties of the supercritical fluid, allowing it to be fine-tuned based on the application. Most substances require very high temperatures and pressures to transform into their supercritical state, making the Heliflow Heat Exchanger the ideal option to handle these extreme conditions. Graham Heliflow Overview The Heliflow Heat Exchanger is a compact, helically coiled shell and tube heat exchanger. The spiral, countercurrent flow path enhances thermal efficiency, reduces fouling, and delivers exceptional heating and cooling in a fraction of the surface area of standard shell and tube exchangers. Large temperature gradients and close approach temperatures are possible due to the 100% countercurrent flow configuration. Advantages/Disadvantages of Supercritical Fluids When a fluid is operated above its critical temperature and pressure, it becomes a supercritical fluid with liquid-like density and vapor-like viscosity. Due to the unstable nature of a supercritical fluid, slight variations in pressure or temperature can drastically change the Figure 1. Carbon dioxide pressure-temperature phase diagram. Above properties. With a small increase in pressure you can see a large increase a pressure of 300 bar and 300 K, carbon dioxide becomes supercritical. in density; this variability allows the fluid to be fine-tuned to a certain Jacobs, Mark.

  • What Is a Supercritical Fluid.Pdf
    What is a Supercritical Fluid ? 1. Definition Supercritical Fluid: Fluid over its critical temperature and pressure, exhibiting good solvent power ; in most applications, carbon dioxide is used pure or added with a co-solvent ; the main interest of supercritical fluids is related to their “ tunable ” properties, that can be changed easily by monitoring pressure and temperature : good solvent power at high densities (temperature near critical temperature and pressure much over critical pressure) to very low solvent power at low densities (temperature near or higher critical temperature and pressure lower critical pressure). 2. Carbon dioxide and other fluids Carbon dioxide : CO2 is a very attractive supercritical fluid for many reasons : -- very cheap and abundant in pure form (food grade) worldwide ; -- non flammable and not toxic ; -- environment-friendly, as non polluting gas and as most of CO2 is manufactured from waste streams (mainly fertilizer plants gaseous effluents) ; -- critical temperature at 31°C, permitting operations at near-ambient temperature, avoiding product alteration ; -- critical pressure at 74 bar, leading to “ acceptable ” operation pressure, generally between 100 and 350 bar. However, carbon dioxide always behaves as a “ non-polar ” solvent that selectively dissolves the lipids that are water-insoluble compounds like vegetal oils, butter, fats, hydrocarbons….Carbon dioxide does not dissolve the hydrophilic compounds like sugars and proteins, and mineral species like salts, metals,… Co-solvent : Organic solvent added to the main fluid (generally carbon dioxide) to modify its solvent power vis-à-vis “ polar ” molecules as the fluid itself is only able to dissolve “ non- polar ” molecules ; generally, the co-solvent is chosen between short-chain alcohols, esters or ketones.

  • SUPERCRITICAL FLUID SPRAY APPLICATION PROCESS for ADHESIVES and PRIMERS SERDP Project PP-1118 Marc D. Donohue Principal Investi
    SUPERCRITICAL FLUID SPRAY APPLICATION PROCESS FOR ADHESIVES AND PRIMERS SERDP Project PP-1118 Marc D. Donohue Principal Investigator Johns Hopkins University March 2003 Preface Project Background In this project, we reformulated various solvent borne, high volatile organic compound (VOC) adhesives and adhesive primers, as cited in SERDP’s Statement of Need, for application by a supercritical carbon dioxide spray process. Over the last several years, a new spray application process has been developed for polymeric based paints and other coatings that can reduce solvent VOC emissions up to 80%. This process was conceived by the principal investigator of this project and has been commercialized by the Dow Chemical Company. This unique process (known as the UNICARBâ process) is based on the use of supercritical carbon dioxide as a replacement for organic solvents in multi-component spray coating formulations. By adapting this process to adhesives and adhesive primer applications, stringent compliance standards can be achieved respective to environmental, toxicological, materials compatibility, and, physical property performance characteristics as outlined in the original proposal and Statement of Need. Furthermore, by employing this process to apply adhesives that are presently used in the military, the costs incurred for developing and testing new (different) low/no-VOC, non-structural adhesives will be negated. To accomplish this task, a systematic program was implemented aimed at understanding the thermodynamic and rheological properties of adhesive-solvent-carbon dioxide mixtures for each type of adhesive and primer. Additionally, optimal conditions of temperature, pressure, and polymer/solvent ratio were determined for each adhesive and primer type such that proper atomization and film formation was achieved while simultaneously VOC emissions are minimized.

  • Method 3562: Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Polychlorinated
    METHOD 3562 SUPERCRITICAL FLUID EXTRACTION OF POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBs) AND ORGANOCHLORINE PESTICIDES SW-846 is not intended to be an analytical training manual. Therefore, method procedures are written based on the assumption that they will be performed by analysts who are formally trained in at least the basic principles of chemical analysis and in the use of the subject technology. In addition, SW-846 methods, with the exception of required method use for the analysis of method-defined parameters, are intended to be guidance methods which contain general information on how to perform an analytical procedure or technique which a laboratory can use as a basic starting point for generating its own detailed Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), either for its own general use or for a specific project application. The performance data included in this method are for guidance purposes only, and are not intended to be and must not be used as absolute QC acceptance criteria for purposes of laboratory accreditation. 1.0 SCOPE AND APPLICATION 1.1 This method describes the use of supercritical fluids for the extraction of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) from soils, sediments, fly ash, solid-phase extraction media, and other solid materials which are amenable to extraction with conventional solvents. This method is suitable for use with any supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system that allows extraction conditions (e.g., pressure, temperature, flow rate) to be adjusted to achieve separation of the PCBs and OCPs from the matrices of concern. The following compounds have been extracted by this method during validation studies.
