Résumé : |
In this paper we illustrate the use of subcritical carbon dioxide to precipitate ultrafine solid particles. The process has been developed to attain rapid, high, and uniform supersaturation by drastic reduction of the solution temperature and is named PPRGEL (precipitation by pressure reduction of gas-expanded liquids). Rapid pressure reduction over a CO2-expanded liquid solution from 40−70 to 1 bar at 303 K reduces the solution temperature by 30−80 K in a very short span of time (0.5−1.5 min) and facilitates precipitation of ultrafine particles. The process performance has been evaluated for particle production of cholesterol from 100 mL of its acetone and ethanol solutions (5−10 mg/mL) at 40–70 bar and 303 K using a 1 L high-pressure vessel. Particles with a size range of 200 nm to 7 μm and morphologies of near-spherical to needles have been produced with a change in operating conditions. |
