Part 1: Experimental results}, volume={40}, ISSN={["0888-5885"]}, DOI={10.1021/ie010267m}, abstractNote={The rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (RESS) process is a promising environmentally benign technology for fine droplet or particle formation. The absence of organic solvents and narrow size distribution of RESS precipitates make this process attractive for polymer coating applications. In our work, this technique has been used to produce droplets of perfluoropolyethers from CO2 solutions without the aid of cosolvents for the coating of porous materials applied in monumental and civil infrastructures. The present work is aimed at gaining an understanding of the relationship between droplet and spray characteristics and RESS process conditions. As such, a combined experimental/computational approach is applied to a representative binary system consisting of a low-molecular-weight perfluoropolyether diamide (PFD) dissolved in supercritical CO2. Part 1 of this work presents phase equilibria measurements and polymer droplet size characterizations under different operating conditions.

In this article, part 2 of a two-part study, the nucleation and subsequent growth of 2500 Mw perfluoropolyether diamide (PFD) from supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) by expansion through a small-diameter nozzle is modeled in a three-stage, multidimensional fashion. The stages include a hydrodynamic solution, solvent−solute phase equilibria analyses, and an aerosol transport model. The hydrodynamics model successfully captures the vapor−liquid transition that occurs as carbon dioxide is expanded to ambient conditions. Cloud-point pressures and equilibrium compositions of the separated solvent−solute system are determined and are used in a multidimensional aerosol transport model. This model incorporates various mechanisms influencing droplet growth. Parametric studies are conducted to investigate the influen...}, number={26}, journal={INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH}, author={Franklin, RK and Edwards, JR and Chernyak, Y and Gould, RD and Henon, F and Carbonell, RG}, year={2001}, month={Dec}, pages={6127–6139} }

Residual waxes influence fiber–fiber bonding, reducing the paper properties of recycled OCC as well as the paper machine operating efficiency. A procedure to dewax OCC is a major objective of the paper industry. Here we describe a novel process to quantitatively dewax OCC by using supercritical carbon dioxide to remove the wax. The results obtained for the extraction of both saturated and curtain‐coated waxed containers are reported and compared with Soxhlet extraction with hexane. Quantitative removal of the waxes was obtained under a variety of operating conditions. Gas chromatographic analysis of the extracted paraffin wax shows that supercritical fluid extraction does not chemically alter the paraffin wax, indicating the recovered wax may be recycled. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
