Despite the impressive characteristics of biological metal organic frameworks (bioMOFs) for their use as drug delivery systems (DDs), there are still some parameters related to their structural stability and processing routes that have decelerated their realistic application in this field. Both drawbacks are unraveled in this work for the microporous bioMOF CaSyr-1 by using supercritical CO2 (scCO2) to load the bioMOF with the anti-tubercular isoniazid (INH) drug, and functionalize its external surface with a hydrophobic protective layer of stearate (S). The hydrophobicized CaSyr-1(INH)/S vehicle is further coated with a neutral surfactant (PS60) to enhance the wettability of the system. In vitro tests, related to drug carrier biocompatibility and drug release in body simulated fluids, are performed to demonstrate potential prospective of the designed DDs in pharmacy. The synthetized product displayed total biocompatibility even at high concentrations, and the particle size and dissolution rate showed to be adequate for pulmonary administration.

The transcritical CO2 (T-CO2) power cycle is regarded as one of the most promising alternatives to the steam power cycle in nuclear power plants. However, these plants often operate with transient cold source conditions, leading to deviations from the optimal design point and performance degradation. Therefore, this study examines a double recompression T-CO2 power cycle to optimize the design point pump inlet temperature and investigate part-load performance under cold source fluctuations. Results indicate that the lowest design point pump inlet temperature is optimal for low temperature cold sources and high load conditions to maximize thermal efficiency. When the system operates at 80 % load with a cold source temperature of 5 °C, the thermal efficiencies at the design point pump inlet temperature of 15 °C and 25 °C are 58 % and 56.93 %, respectively. In contrast, a moderate design point pump inlet temperature is better suited for accommodating wide fluctuations in operating conditions. A lower cold source temperature helps mitigate the reduction in thermal efficiency caused by load decreases. Furthermore, reducing the split ratio of low-temperature compressor can enhance thermal efficiency as the cold source temperature increases. These findings provide an effective approach to minimizing performance degradation in the T-CO2 power cycle under off-design conditions.

High-pressure gas might affect the molecular chain movement, chain interaction, and crosslinking behavior of MVQ during the saturation process. In this paper, by comparing crosslinking exothermic behaviors of MVQ in air, CO2, and N2, it is found that the supercritical CO2 (scCO2) can promote crosslinking reaction of MVQ through enhancing the swelling and molecular chain's mobility. The result of rheological property shows the competitive relationship between crosslinking and plasticizing effects of MVQ in CO2. MVQ foams with different cellular structures and porosity are designed by balancing the crosslinking density and plasticization effect. MVQ foams prepared in this study have excellent compressive mechanical properties, and compressive stress can reach up to 1839 kPa at 40 % strain. This paper offers a reference for preparing thermosetting polymer foams in the aspect of crosslinking reaction and cellular structure regulation.

Steam explosion (SE) pretreatment and sequentially subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) was studied. Industrially, there is an advantage in using this process strategy, since it uses the same equipment and instrumentation, without the need to transport the raw material in separate stages. The influence of severity factors (SF) (2.75, 3.05, and 3.35) and solvent used (distilled water and 0.5 % w/w of H2SO4) were evaluated in the SE efficiency. SWH was perform in integrated processing using the best pre-treatment conditions. The influence of temperature (230 and 260 °C) and the solvent/feed ratio (40 and 80) were considered. The integrated system resulted in a FS yield of 19.19 ± 0.49 g/ 100 g SH, for a condition Integrated 230 °C, S/F-40, a FS yield 3.3 times greater than that obtained in the same condition with untreated soybean hulls, demonstrating the advantage of perform the process under this operating strategy (SE + SWH)

We developed a methodology to study the extraction of high-value solutes directly from suspensions of finely disrupted substrates. For that, we modelled the high-pressure phase equilibrium for the ternary (CO2 + ethanol + water) system using experimental literature data. Different compositions of hydroethanolic mixture and CO2 were loaded into an extraction vessel set at 30–35 MPa and 40–50 °C during static extraction, and a gaseous mixture with the composition of the CO2-rich gaseous phase in the extraction vessel was continuously fed during dynamic extraction. Losses of the fed hydroethanolic mixture occurred mainly during dynamic extraction (10–30 wt%) and were properly distributed to account for actual flows and compositions of experimental streams. Mostly, equilibrium conditions were reached following about 1 h of the 2-h dynamic extraction, and good reproducibility was achieved. In conclusion, equilibrium is reached in which two phases coexist in equilibrium within the extraction vessel: a water-rich liquid phase and a CO2-rich gaseous phase.

The impregnation of piperine and black pepper extract into poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) films using supercritical CO2 was investigated. Piperine was a model to determine the influence of operating conditions of pressure (10 and 12 MPa) and temperature (40 and 50 °C) on the impregnation yield. The most favorable conditions were obtained at 10 MPa and 50 °C and were used in the incorporation of piperine and black pepper extract into 200 µm films. The addition of 5 and 10 % ethanol as cosolvent was tested during the impregnation processes of black pepper extract and piperine. The impregnated films were characterized on their thermal, mechanical, structural and surface properties. The addition of 5 % cosolvent favored the increase in piperine yield (5.6 %). The impregnation of piperine and extract using co-solvent led to an increase in the crystallinity of the films and significant changes in the mechanical properties. Supercritical technology has shown promise for the impregnation of active agents into PLLA films for potential development in food packaging applications.

Dyes abundance in wastewaters poses environmental threats, and a cost-effective strategy to remediate dyed water is adsorption: this process could be enhanced using nanostructured sorbents, that expose high surface areas.
Methods
In this work, chitosan aerogel adsorbents were produced by supercritical CO2 assisted drying, working at 200 bar, 35 °C, and CO2 mass flow rate of 0.8 kg/h. FESEM images proved that the delicate biopolymeric network was intact thanks to near-zero surface tension at the interface between CO2 and the liquid, and large supercritical fluid diffusivity. Methyl Orange (MO) and Crystal Violet (CV) were used as model anionic and cationic dyes, respectively.
Significant findings
Changing dye initial concentration, chitosan aerogel showed different behavior at low and large driving forces, for both CV and MO. Adsorption experiments proved that MO could be not completely removed by aqueous solutions: whereas, CV removal was successful with removal efficiencies up to 89.0 ± 1.1 % from a 10 ppm solution, using 50 mg of aerogel. FT-IR analysis proved that chitosan active sites were more effectively involved with CV rather than MO. Kinetic analysis, carried out for both dyes, showed that the process follows a pseudo-second order kinetics, related to internal mass transfer resistances and diffusion phenomena.

This pioneering study is the first to explore the extraction of Calycolpus goetheanus using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2), novel approach to harnessing the bioactive potential of this Amazonian species. By examining extractions under varying temperatures (35 and 45 °C) and pressures (150, 250, and 350 bar), the research not only evaluates the yields but also uncovers significant differences in chemical composition and antioxidant activity compared to traditional hydrodistillation. Notably, the highest yield (2.11 ± 0.07 %) was achieved under 45 °C and 350 bar conditions, where n-heneicosane (34.26 %) was the dominant compound, alongside δ-cadinene, α-terpineol, and other important terpenes and fatty alcohols. The scCO2 extracts demonstrated superior antioxidant activity compared to hydrodistillation, highlighting the method's ability to preserve and concentrate bioactive compounds. This research advances the field by showcasing scCO2 as a greener and more efficient extraction technique, with potential applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals, opening new pathways for the sustainable exploitation of Amazonian biodiversity.

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) was used as an alternative method of dyeing alpaca fiber. This study analyzes the colorfastness to laundering as a function of operating parameters. The fiber was subjected to a pretreatment (Impregnation), where it was soaked in an acidulated solution of Nylosan Yellow N-3RL dye, squeezed through a padder roller and then dyed in the SC-CO2 system. Dye concentrations of 4.228 × 10−4 g/ml and 13.032 × 10-4 g/ml were tested for pretreatment and the dyeing process was analyzed using a factorial design with variables: pressure (100 and 350 bar), temperature (60 and 90°C) and time (30 and 120 min). The colorfastness to laundering reached 4.5 on the gray scale at 13.032 × 10–4 g/ml and temperature significantly influenced the process (p-value=0.038). Colorfastness to laundering of 4 at 100 bar, 90°C and 30 min was achieved.
