Solubilities of n‑Butyl Esters in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Ram C. Narayan and Giridhar Madras* Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012, India ABSTRACT: The solubilities of butyl stearate and butyl laurate were determined in the temperature range of 308 K to 323 K and 313 K to 328 K, respectively, at pressures of 10 MPa to 16 MPa. The solubility of butyl laurate was higher than that of butyl stearate by almost an order in magnitude. Retrograde behavior was observed throughout the investigated pressure range. Semiempirical models such as Mendez-Teja, Chrastil, and other density-based models were used to correlate the experimental data of our work as well as several other liquid solutes.

1. INTRODUCTION In the vicinity of the critical point of a fluid, the physical properties of a fluid change significantly. This is the basis of all supercritical fluid technologies, whose initial applications focused on the extraction of materials such as coffee, tea, hops, spices, and flavors, in which the tunable solvating power of the fluid was exploited.1 The use of these fluids also results in high rates of mass transfer and permits simpler downstream processing.2 Today, the horizons of this technology have widened to encompass many other applications such as the synthesis of biodiesel3 and other esters,4 lipid processing,5 pollution abatement,6 fractionation,7 material applications such as impregnation 8 and particle design, 9 and analytical applications.10 The solvent of choice for most applications is supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) because it is cheap, nontoxic, and not flammable. Supercritical fluids have been extensively used for lipid processing. 5 In the purview of developing renewable technologies, there has been an impetus in the field of developing biodegradable and biobased lubricants.11,12 Many esters have been synthesized using various lipid sources.13,14 Fatty acid esters of higher alcohols have been investigated as a potential lubricant base stock.15−17 Reactions such as esterification, transesterification, and interesterification could be conducted in a supercritical fluid. It can also be used in further fractionation to obtain pure lubricant basestock. Thus, it is relevant to determine the solubility of fatty acid esters of higher alcohols in SC-CO2 to design such processes and operations. In this study, the solubilities of butyl stearate and butyl laurate in SC-CO2 were measured using a dynamic solubility measurement apparatus. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study toward investigating the solubility of fatty acid esters of a higher alcohol in SC-CO2. These esters have been studied for potential use as lubricants,18,19 plasticizers, solvents, and flavors.20,21 The solubility data are correlated by various semiempirical models such as the Chrastil model after testing its consistency with the model developed by Mendez-Santiago © XXXX American Chemical Society

and Teja. The behavior of these systems is compared with other liquid solutes, especially other fatty acid methyl and ethyl esters.

2. MATERIALS Carbon dioxide gas of 0.99 mass fraction was purchased from Noble Gases (Bangalore, India). The purity was increased to 0.999 mass fraction by passing the gas through a silica bed column. Butyl stearate (CAS no. 123-95-5) was procured from TCI Chemicals (Japan). Gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC−MS) indicated that the sample was composed of 92.3 % butyl stearate, 6.1 % butyl eicosanoate, 1.2 % butyl palmitate and 0.4 % butyl docosanoate. Butyl laurate (CAS no. 106-18-3) with > 99 % (GC) purity was obtained from SigmaAldrich (USA). 3. EXPERIMENT AND PROCEDURE A flow saturation technique was used to measure the solubility of the liquid solute in supercritical conditions. Carbon dioxide from a gas cylinder was passed through a pump (PU-1580-CO2, Jasco International Company, Japan), where it is cooled to a liquid and then pumped to the desired pressure (within ± 0.2 MPa), maintained by a suitable back-pressure regulator (JascoPU-1580-81-BP). An appropriate volume of liquid solute (∼30 mL) was introduced into the high pressure vessel of volume 50 mL (EV-3-50-2 from Jasco). This was then placed in a thermostat, with a temperature control of ± 0.1 K. After sufficient time, the supercritical carbon dioxide which was passed through the column is completely saturated with liquid solute. The mixture was expanded and collected into a glass trap. The amount of solute collected was measured gravimetrically. The flow lines were flushed with hexane after each experiment in order to remove remaining traces of esters. The experiments for determining the solubility were carried out at a Received: April 8, 2014 Accepted: October 17, 2014

constant flow rate of 0.1 mL min−1 to ensure that saturation is attained. This flow rate was selected by conducting experiments by varying flow rate between (0.05 and 0.3) mL·min−1 and keeping other parameters such as temperature and pressure constant and determining the flow rate below which the solubility is unchanged. The solubility was expressed as mole fraction and calculated by using the expression: y2 =

Considering the modifications proposed by both del Valle and Aguilera and Adachi and Lu, a single equation can be formulated as eq 7, ln c(kg·m−3) = (α + βρ(kg·m−3) + γρ2 (kg·m−3)2 ) a b × ln ρ(kg·m−3) + + 2 2 +d T (K) T (K )

where w represents the weight of solute collected, M and Mco2 represents molecular weight of solute and carbon dioxide, respectively. Q is the flow rate of carbon dioxide through the liquid column, and t is the sample collection time. The density of carbon dioxide ρ is calculated from the 27-parameter equation of state.22 Each experiment was repeated in triplicate, and the standard deviation was less ± 5 %.

In the case of liquids, the sublimation pressure, can be replaced with the vapor pressure Pvap . Using the Antoine equation 2 for correlating vapor pressure with temperature a modified version of the MT model is given by eq 3, T (K) ln(y2 p) = A + Bρ(kg·m−3) + cT (K)

The solubilities of butyl stearate and butyl laurate were measured at temperatures, T= (308 to 323) K and T= (313 to 328) K, respectively, for pressures p= (10 to 16) MPa and are shown in Table 1. The solubilities of butyl laurate at 308 K and butyl stearate at 328 K were very high and very low, respectively, for which the equipment may not give accurate values. The densities of carbon dioxide at different pressures and temperatures were calculated using the 27-parameter equation of state.22 The graph of solubility (c, kg.m−3) with pressure (p, MPa) is plotted for both butyl laurate and butyl stearate in Figure 2. As mentioned earlier, the MT model was used to test the data consistency. The experimental data were regressed to minimize the average absolute relative deviation (AARD) of the solubility of the solute in supercritical carbon dioxide, defined as

A plot of T(ln(y2p) − cT) with ρ will be linear and provides an excellent tool to test the consistency of data at different temperatures. One of the first empirical models for correlating the solubilities of solids and liquids in supercritical fluids was developed by Chrastil.24 It was derived by considering equilibrium between the hypothesized solvato-complex with the solute and solvent molecules. The model is mathematically described by eq 4, a ln c(kg·m−3) = κ ln ρ(kg·m−3) + +b T (K) (4) relating the concentration of solute (c, kg·m−3) in the vapor/ supercritical phase to the density of carbon dioxide (ρ, kg·m−3) and the temperature of the system (T, K). κ indicates the association number, which is dimensionless. del Valle and Aguilera in their study on the solubility of vegetable oils25 empirically correlated the parameter with temperature yielding the following eq 5, ln c(kg·m−3) = κ ln ρ(k kg·m−3) +

where N represents the number of data points and y2 represents the solubility of solute mole fraction. The superscripts “calc” and “exp” represent the calculated and experimental values, respectively. All multiple linear regressions were done using the software Polymath 5.1. In case of the Chrastil model and derived equations such as those from Adachi and Lu or del Valle Aguilera, AARD (%) values are calculated in terms of solubilities (c) in kg·m−3 rather than mole fraction (y2). It can be observed from Figure 3, that different isotherms almost collapse to a single line in case of both butyl stearate and butyl laurate. The AARD (%) values for the MT model for these compounds are 10.2% and 17.3%, respectively.

Both Chrastil and del Valle and Aguilera assumed that the association number is a constant, independent of the model parameters, temperature (T) and density (ρ).

In general, an isothermal increase in pressure leads to an increase in solubility. At a particular temperature and pressure, the solubility of butyl stearate was always lower than that of butyl laurate. This phenomenon was also observed in the case of other liquid and solid compounds (homologous series). For example, in the case of solids, solubility of lauric acid was always higher than that of stearic acid, myristic acid, or palmitic acid.30−35 In the case of liquids, solubility of methyl stearate was lower than that of methyl myristate or methyl palmitate.36 Considering the effect of the alkyl group, the solubility of butyl stearate was lower than that of methyl and ethyl stearate.36,37 The fatty acid esters in general have a considerably higher solubility than corresponding fatty acids. This is shown in Figure 4 where solubility is plotted against pressure for homologous fatty acid esters such as methyl, ethyl, butyl stearate, and stearic acid. Thus, esterification/transesterification in general increases the solubility of fatty acids and triglycerides. This is due to lower polarity of esters as compared to the corresponding fatty acid. Figure 4 represents the variation of solubility with pressure for stearic acid30,38 and its esters: methyl stearate,36 ethyl stearate,37 and butyl stearate (this work). It can be seen that the esters have a higher solubility than the corresponding fatty acid. As the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol moiety of the ester increases, the solubility decreases. This can be attributed to the lower vapor pressure of butyl stearate or ethyl stearate when compared to methyl stearate. An exhaustive review39 on the solubility of various lipid classes like fatty acids, triglycerides and fatty acid esters discusses

various general patterns on the solubilities in SC-CO2. These patterns were based on the literature on the solubility data of different lipid classes. According to this review, liquid solutes like oleic acid, linoleic acid, fatty acid esters (methyl and ethyl esters) etc. show retrograde solubility behavior in the temperature and pressure range studied. The temperature range for these methyl and ethyl esters was 313 K to 343 K and pressures up to 20 MPa. An inverse relationship exists between solubility and temperature at isobaric conditions. In the temperature and pressure ranges in which we measured the solubility data of butyl laurate butyl stearate, no crossover region was observed, complete retrograde behavior was observed, as with other liquid solutes. As described earlier, the experimental data was fitted according to eq 2 (Chrastil equation) and its modified forms such as eq 5 and 7. In the case of butyl stearate and butyl laurate an AARD of 13.3 % and 13.7 % was estimated from the Chrastil equation. The AARD (%) values for the MT-model and Chrastil model of different liquids is shown in Table 2. To represent experimental data better, different modifications of the Chrastil model are combined into eq 7. On the basis of eq 7, seven equations were modeled: Two-parameter model:

Five-parameter models: Case 4(a); Adachi and Lu model with five parameters:

b=0 Case 4(b); Sparks model: γ=0

The AARD (%) of the above-defined cases are shown in Table 2. Case 1 is a simple linear correlation between the logarithms of solubility and density. In the case of certain compounds like butyl laurate, butyl stearate, ethyl EPA, and ethyl DHA, the AARD (%) values are almost the same as in case 2(b), but are higher than that of case 2(a) suggesting a linear correlation of association number with density. Thus, these compounds have a strong density dependence and weak temperature dependence of solubility. In cases 1 and 2(a), the AARD (%) for triolein was found to be greater than 100 %. The average shown in the table does not consider the case of triolein. Among the three parameter models, case 2(a) showed a good correlation with AARD (%), 8.9 % and 8.2 % for butyl stearate and butyl laurate, respectively. Among the four parameter models, case 3(a) performed much better than case 3(b).

Among the five parameter models, case 4(a) had lower AARD (%) than case 4(b), proposed by Sparks et al.40 These indicated that the compensation for temperature dependence of heat of vaporization is not necessary. Cases 4(a) and 4(b) have five parameters and have a marginally low AARD (%) compared to case 3(a). This indicates that Chrastil (case 2(b)) is the best three parameter model and the Adachi and Lu model (case 3(a), b = γ = 0) is the best four-parameter model. To determine the best overall model, Akaike information criterion, which deals with the trade-off between goodness of fit and model complexity, may be used to compare models with different numbers of parameters.

6. CONCLUSIONS The solubilities of butyl stearate and butyl laurate in SC-CO2 were determined in the temperature range T = (308 to 323) K and T = (313 to 328) K, respectively, in the pressure range p = (10 to 16) MPa using a dynamic flow technique. The pure component solubility of butyl laurate was about a magnitude higher than that of butyl stearate. The solubility data of esters investigated in this work and several other liquid solutes was modeled using simple empirical models. The solubility of butyl stearate and butyl laurate was well correlated using a three parameter simple density correlation. Adachi and Lu equation with four parameters seemed sufficient to correlate the data for liquid solutes with an average absolute relative deviation (AARD %) of around 12 %.
