Abstract:Supercritical CO 2 extraction was employed to separate simulated and real bio-oil. Effects of adsorbents on enrichment were investigated for a simulated bio-oil, which is composed of acetic acid (AC), propanoic acid (PA), furfural (FR), acetylacetone (AA) and 2-methoxyphenol (MP). Extraction of spiked bio-oil shows adsorbents are able to influence extraction efficiency and selectivity. Appropriate water content in the simulated bio-oil favors in improving extraction efficiency. Extraction with methanol (or eth… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
