    Abstract:
    The ASES (aerosol solvent extraction system) process, which is one of the SAS (supercritical antisolvent) processes, was selected to recrystallize PLLA into submicrometer particles. In the ASES process, there are two key factors. One is atomization for fine droplets, and the other is mass transfer of droplets during precipitation in the vessel, which causes nucleation and growth of particles. They are affected by several elements such as temperature, pressure, density, concentration, injection rate of solution, and feed rate of CO2. In this work, we studied the effect of CO2 density, solution injection rate, and CO2 feed rate on atomization and mass transfer. In addition, to investigate the influence of the solvent on particle production, DCM (dichloromethane), THF (tetrahydrofuran), and 1,4-dioxane were used as solvents for PLLA. In the variation of CO2 densities, there was not a consistent tendency. From variation of solution injection rate and feed rate of CO2 we found out that the relative velocity difference between CO2 and the PLLA/DCM solution was an important factor for fine PLLA particles. The particles increased in size with relatively high temperature and pressure for fixed CO2 density. Particles in which DCM was used as the solvent for PLLA were finer than the others.

    Molecular dynamic simulation was employed to calculate self-diffusion coefficient of supercritical carbon dioxide from 10.34 to 482.63 bar at 323 K,and the result showed that self-diffusion coefficient of supercritical carbon dioxide was decreased with pressure increasing,and the average deviation between simulation value and experimental value was less than 4.4%.

    Copolymeric products from 2-methylaziridine and carbon dioxide showed sharp and rapid phase transitions in response to both temperature and pH; the responsive property can be controlled by varying the reaction conditions whilst maintaining the supercritical state.

    A correlation for the parameter α of PR EOS for supercritical carbon dioxide was determined from experimental PVT data. The calculations for solubility of several solids in supercritical carbon dioxide were done. The total average relative deviation calculated with the modification is less than that with the original PR EOS.

    By use of a flow-type apparatus, vapor-phase compositions in supercritical carbon dioxide at 323.15 K have been measured for 1-nonanol, 1-undecanol, 1-tridecanol, and 1-pentadecanol over the pressure range from 80 to 250 bar. The measured mole fractions of solute in supercritical carbon dioxide are correlated with the reduced density and reduced pressure of the pure solvent.

    Recent significant research and development on the use of supercritical carbon dioxide as reaction medium to aid in the greening of various classes of organic reactions, especially, on the use of gaseous reactants (H_2, CO, O_2) in supercritical carbon dioxide will be discussed. Namely, hydrogenation, carbonylation, oxidation, under supercritical carbon dioxide conditions will be described in details.

    The solubilities of flavone and 3-hydroxyflavone in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) were measured at 308.2 K and 318.2 K over the pressure range from 9.1 MPa to 25.3 MPa by a flow type apparatus, which can detect the concentrations of the solutes in a supercritical fluid. The solubilities were determined from the mass of solute trapped by decompressing and the volume of CO2. Solubility data were correlated by a solution model based on the regular solution model.
