Abstract
The performance of a high pressure plant for the extraction of ethanol from aqueous solutions using carbon dioxide was studied. Supercritica l and liquid carbon dioxide were used to extract ethanol at pressures of 80 to 300 bar and 20 to 60 degrees C in a countercurrent column of 3 cm internal diameter. The effects of temperature, pressure and solve nt to feed ratio on mass transfer are examined.
