Extraction of a hydrophilic compound from water into liquid CO2 using denditric surfactants
Article Abstract:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is widely used as a solvent but it has limited ability to dissolve ionic, polymeric or highly polar species. New research shows that a fluorinated dendritic polymer, soluble in CO2, can transport CO2-insoluble molecules and trap them within their interior sections, which are polar. Such solvents have a wide variety of applications in industrial processes, such as remediation of contaminated water.
