M. Budich et G. Brunner, Vapor-liquid equilibrium data and flooding point measurements of the mixture carbon dioxide plus orange peel oil, FLU PH EQUI, 160, 1999, pp. 759-773
The fractionation of monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated aroma componen
ts from citrus oil was studied for CO2 + orange peel oil mixtures. Phase eq
uilibrium and density measurements as well as countercurrent column experim
ents were carried out at 323, 333, and 343 K in a pressure range from 7 to
13 MPa. Mutual solubilities of CO2 and orange peel oil are in good agreemen
t with literature data for the binary mixture CO2 + limonene. Maximum cross
-flow capacities were determined by means of flooding point measurements to
enable a preliminary design study with respect to minimum inner diameter o
f a countercurrent column. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserv
