Rigorous thermodynamic modeling, simulation, and optimization of the supercritical fractionation of EPA and DHA esters is presented. These valuable products are obtained from complex mixtures of fish oil fatty acid alkyl ...

Abstract: Orange peel is a by-product produced in large amounts that acts as a source of natural pigments such as carotenoids. Xanthophylls, the main carotenoid class found in citrus fruit, can be present in its free form ...

This work presents a study and application of the Duval Method for alternative insulation fluids. A tool for incipient faults diagnosis is developed. The properties of silicone oil and natural ester as dielectric fluids ...

The adsorption potential in the interior of an infinite nanopore along the z-axis, with varying radius R(z), is derived as a function of a deformation parameter. Detailed calculations for a carbon nanotube indicate that ...

In this work, the solubility of thymoquinone, R-(+)-pulegone and 1-octen-3-ol in supercritical CO 2 is determined in a range of conditions typical of supercritical fluid processes such as extraction, fractionation and ...
