Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 化學工程研究所 === 82 === Supercritical fluid extraction has been received wide attraction during the past few years for potential application in the specialty-chemicals,food processing, pharmaceutical, and petroleum industrities.A semiflow equilibrium apparatus system was used to measure the solubilities of methylbenzoic acid isomers in supercritical carbon dioxide over the temperature range from 313.2 to 333.2 K and a pressure range form 109.8 to 245.9 bar.The solubilities within a family was found to be a function of the melting point of the isomers,the lower the melting point ,the higher the solubilities.The results suggest that supercritical solvents can be used to separate 2- and 3- ,or 3- and 4- methylbenzoic acid isomers. The measured mole fractions of methylbenzoic acid are correlated using the model proposed by Chrastil,and as predicted by this model, a linear relationship between the logarithm of the solubility and the logarithm of the density of carbon dioxide was obtained.
