Abstract
An interface has been developed that enables the direct coupling of a continuously stirred high pressure vessel with on-line supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). The system provides a rapid means to determine the solubility of organic compounds in supercritical fluid carbon dioxide (SF-CO2). The method involves increasing the loaded vessel pressure in controlled steps to produce a series of progressively more saturated sample solutions for on-line SFC solubility measurements. The method was validated by obtaining mole fraction solubility data for caffeine in SF-CO2 at four different temperatures ranging from 313K to 343K through the pressure range 10–28MPa. For caffeine, SFC detection was performed at 254nm. The solubility of monensin in SF-CO2 was determined using SFC with post-column derivatization. Vanillin served as derivatizing agent with SFC detection at 520nm. Mole fraction solubility data for monensin was obtained at 313K and 328K through the pressure range 10–27.5MPa.
