Liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) has attracted much interest as environmentally benign alternative for conventional organic solvents. However, low solubility in carbon dioxide, especially polar compounds, is a limitation to the wide practical application of sc-CO2. These solubility problems have been overcome by employing some specialised CO2-soluble surfactants to form reverse micelles or water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions, which could accelerate the development of a broad range of CO2-based processes.
Keywords:Supercritical carbon dioxide , Microemulsions , Surfactants
