Emergencies carbon dioxide

The apparatus incorporates a fibre optic interface for the spectrofluorimetric measurement on the supercritical carbon dioxide emerging from the extraction cell of a supercritical fluid extractor, prior to depressurization from up to 350 bar. Recoveries of polyaromatic hydrocarbons are between 89 and 107%, and measurements can be carried on with a relative standard deviation of less than 5%.

This chapter reviews recent findings about the health benefits of phytochemicals present in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and herbs, including phenolics, carotenoids, sterols, and alkaloids. These phytochemicals are extracted using emerging technologies such as supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction, PEF, MWE, HPP, UE, and OH. The impact of important parameters related to sample preparation (particle size and moisture content) and extraction process (temperature, pressure, solvent flow rate, extraction time, and the use of a cosolvent) on the efficiency of extraction and on the characteristics of the extracted products is evaluated based on an extensive review of recent literature. The future of extraction of phytochemicals is certainly bright with the... 

When the earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago, 95% of the atmosphere consisted of carbon dioxide. The emergence of plant life changed the atmosphere since plants, through the process of photosynthesis, absorb carbon dioxide. Carbon from the atmosphere was absorbed into the vegetation and when the vegetable matter died, it decomposed, and formed coal and oil. This dropped the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to less than 1%.

Work by Voit and his associates continued so that by 1900 standard values for heats of combustion of different foods had emerged (Table 1). Respiratory quotients (RQ) were also derived, associated with the utilization of the different foods. The RQ is the molar ratio of the amount of carbon dioxide produced in the oxidation of a substance to the amount of oxygen needed for that oxidation. For carbohydrate the RQ is 1 ... 

In a rather original approach, H. J. Morowitz and co-workers (Morowitz et al, 1991 1995 and 2000) examine the chemistry of a model system of C, H, and O that starts with carbon dioxide and reductants and uses redox couples as the energy source. To investigate the reachon networks that might emerge, they start...
