Abstract
Baicalein, which exhibits antioxidant activity and wogonin, with anticancer activity, can be extracted from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. Their similar structures pose a challenge to further isolation. Supercritical Fluid-Simulated Moving Bed (SF-SMB) can function as a large-scale green separation process based on the adsorptive difference between them. The adsorption data of baicalein and wogonin on ZorBax SB-CN column in supercritical carbon dioxide/methanol were determined using the Elution by Characteristic Points method and could be well fitted by Langmuir model. At lower temperature or lower density of mobile phase, the adsorption capacity increased, with the maximum being 70.10 kg/m3 for baicalein and 45.25 kg/m3 for wogonin. The diffusion coefficients of the baicalein and wogonin were determined by the Taylor-Aris peak broadening method. They decreased with higher pressure, lower temperature, or higher density of the mobile phase. This work offers basic data support for the design of SF-SMB systems and industrial platform technology.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics.
Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
