Crude palm oil was processed by continuous supercritical carbon dioxide. The process reduces the contents of free fatty acids, monoglycerides and diglycerides, certain triglycerides, and some carotenes. The refined palm oil from the process has less than 0.1% free fatty acids, higher carotene content, and low diglycerides. Solubility of palm oil in supercritical carbon dioxide increased with pressure. A co-solvent improves the refining process of palm oil.

Mass transfer modeling of apricot kernel oil extraction with supercritical carbon dioxide
Ozkal, SG; Yener, Meryem Esra; Bayindirli, L (2005-09-01)
Effects of process parameters on extraction of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) kernel oil with supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) were investigated. The parameters included particle size (mean particle diameter < 0.425-1.5 mm), solvent flow rate (1-5 g/min), pressure (300-600 bar), temperature (40-70 degrees C) and co-solvent concentration (up to 3.0 wt.% ethanol). The model of broken and intact cells represented the apricot kernel oil extraction well. Grinding was necessary to release the oil from intact ...
Continuous Methanol Production from Methane Using N2O as Oxidant
İpek Torun, Bahar (null; 2018-09-12)
Increased production of shale gas motivated using methane as a chemical feedstock. For this reason, an economical process that converts methane into an easily transported and valuable chemical is needed. Direct and selective, on-site, production of methanol is desirable but challenging due to the inherent stability of methane. Selective methanol formation is proven to be possible on copper exchanged zeolites (Cu-ZSM-5 [1] and Cu-mordenite [2,3]) following a 3-step cyclic process: (i) oxidation of the Cu-zeo...
CO2 injection in carbonates
Izgec, O.; Demiral, B.; Bertin, H.; Akın, Serhat (2005-07-28)
Started as an EOR technique to produce oil, injection of carbon dioxide which is essentially a greenhouse gas is becoming more and more important. Although there are a number of mathematical modeling studies, experimental studies are limited and most studies focus on injection into sandstone reservoirs as opposed to carbonate ones. This study presents the results of computerized tomography (CT) monitored laboratory experiments to characterize relevant chemical reactions associated with injection and storage...
Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of hazelnut oil
Ozkal, SG; Salgin, U; Yener, Meryem Esra (2005-07-01)
Solubility of hazelnut oil in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) was determined at 15-60MPa, and 40-60 degrees C. The crossover pressure of hazelnut oil was between 15 and 30MPa. The solubility increased with pressure, but increased with temperature above the crossover pressure. Hazelnut particles (1-2 mm) were extracted at 30-60MPa, and 40-60 degrees C with SC-CO2 flow rate of 2 ml/min. Extraction occurred in two periods. The released oil on the surface of particles was extracted in the fast extraction ...
