Abstract

Ponencia presentada en: 16th European Meeting on Supercritical Fluids, 25 a 28 de abril de 2017, Lisboa ; This work provides experimental phase equilibrium data of the pseudo-ternary system CO2 + ethanol + fish oil, a system of interest in pharmaceutical and food-industry applications such as the enzymatic production of fatty acid ethyl esters at mild, non-oxidative conditions. Measurements were carried out in a high-pressure variable-volume view cell in the temperature range 323.15-343.15 K and at pressures from 10 to 30 MPa. The Peng-Robinson equation of state was used to satisfactorily correlate experimental data. ; European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Spanish Government (MINECO) and Junta de Castilla y León for financial support (projects CTQ2012-39131-C02-01 and BU055U16).
