Abstract:
Solubility of phenolics of mango ginger extract in supercritical carbon dioxide was studied at 40-60 °C and 100-350 bar. Critical temperature, critical pressure and critical volume of caffeic acid, the principal component of the extract were calculated using group contribution methods and compared with the values obtained by CHEMDRAW®. Vapor pressure of caffeic acid was predicted by Reidel method. Solubility prediction in supercritical carbon dioxide was studied using two different equation of states (EOS) models and eight empirical models. Peng-Robinson EOS predicted the solubility very well with average deviation of 0.68 % from the experimental solubility. Empirical equations based on the simple error minimization using non-linear regression method which do not require complex physiochemical properties was also found suitable to predict the solubility at different extraction conditions. Jouyban et al. model showed very less deviation (2.25 %) for predicted solubility values from the experiment.

02:19Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...

03:00Solubility
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules,...
