Production of biodiesel from natural oils  and fats can be achieved using various technologies briefly discussed in this  review. A particular appealing concept for production of green diesel is  selective catalytic deoxygenation of renewables leading to diesel fuel  products. This reaction can be performed over Pd on active carbon supports with  saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives.

Key words: supercritical fluids, chemical and phase equilibria, phase diagrams, critical point, multicomponent mixture, non-ideality, thermophysical behaviors, monoterpenes, a-pinene, heteroazeotrops, mathematical modeling

The mathematical and calculating models  were developed to solute the specific research problems on thermodynamics of  multicomponent and multiphase mixtures. The features of chemical and phase  equilibria were examined both for the ideal-gas approximation and the  non-ideality. The conditions of equilibrium phase stability were studied for multi  phase systems. The calculation results of specific phase diagrams, binodal and spinodal  are demonstrated for the appropriate reaction mixtures. The new interpretation of  mathematical model was suggested for the localization of critical point,  especially for fixed multicomponent chemical mixtures. The new variation of  classical homotopy method was developed for the soluting of complex nonlinear  equations systems, which are the princi ples of concerned mathematical models. The  some anomalous phase profiles and the critical curves were analyzed to  demonstrate the necessity of taking into account the pointed features at the  planning of experiments, the reactor parameters calculations. The examples of  specific multicomponent non-ideal mixtures indicate the possibility of  thermodynamic and thermophysical behaviors calculations (entropy, enthalpy and  heat capacity; thermal reaction effect, adiabatic warming up). It was noted  that the cubic state equations are quite suitable for the prediction of property  deviations from the ideal-gas state and can be used for the prognosis of behavior  anomaly at the critical point surrounding.

Key words: supercritical fluids, phase behavior, hollow fibers

New method to monitor phase behavior of  mixtures at high pressures and temperatures        was developed on basis of continuous  sampling by use of glass capillary. Such technique        gives opportunity not to disturb  equilibrium in the system and to get information        about phase state in continuous flow  systems at different stages of process. As a detector        the flame-ionization detector (FID) was  chosen due to the fact that our solvents are        not flammable and will not give signal. Method  was validated using two different setups        on systems: water.ethanol and CO2 acetone.

Key words: subcritical carbon dioxide, nanopores, adsorption and condensation in pores, shift of critical point, CARS-probe

Coherent anti-stocks Raman scattering  spectra measured in the range of Q-branch of ν1 vibrational  transition are used to reveal the state of carbon dioxide in nanopores of Vicor  glass. The measurements were carried out in a high pressure optical cell at  room        (20.5 °C) and subcritical (30.5 °C) temperatures and CO2 pressures up to saturation value Psat  for each temperature. In  addition to the main spectral component assigned to gaseous CO2 molecules, the second, low frequency component appears in the        spectra at pressures close to Psat. This second  component is determined by the contribution of CO2 molecules  inside pores. Spectral deconvolution taking into account the interference of  these two bands allows one to estimate spectral features of the
        second (low-frequency) component for each  temperature. The bandwidth of lowfrequency component decreases with CO2 pressure at 20.5 °C,  which is caused by transition of CO2 from adsorbed stated  to condensed state in the pore. At subcritical        temperature 30.5 °C the spectral width of the second  component is independent of pressure and corresponds to the value measured in  free volume at supercritical conditions, which is likely due to the  low-temperature shift of critical point in        nanopores.

The effect of supercritical fluid (SF)  extracts of giant knotweed Reynoutria  sachalinensis on photosynthetic  activity of Vicia faba L. bean leaves was studied by slow  fluorescence induction (SFI) and thermoluminescence (TL) methods. The treatment  of plants        with extracts led to the enhancement of  their photosynthetic activity. The maximum stimulating effect was observed for  extract obtained using carbon dioxide with 2% of ethanol as co-solvent. The  observed stimulating effect is assumed to be bound with        increasing of carries pool of the  photosynthetic electron transport chain of plant leaves by quinonic compounds  flux into plant cells.

Key words: supercritical carbon dioxide, ultrafine polytetrafluoroethylene, solubility, Chrastil model, Mendez-Santjago model, Bartle model

The solubility and separation of low  molecular mass fractions of ultrafine
polytetrafluoroethylene (UPTFE) in  supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) are

measured using static method in the  temperature and pressure ranges of 318÷383 K
and 10÷70 MPa, respectively. The solubility isotherms follow  the behavior typical for
«solid.supercritical fluid» systems, i.e.  the solubility increases with pressure, due to
increasing of SC-CO2 pressure,  and temperature. The experimental data are discussed
in terms of three different density-based  models proposed by Chrastil, Bartle and
Mendez-Santjago. It was concluded that two  last models well predict the shape of
experimentally  observed dependences.

Key words: asphaltene, sorption of gases, dilute solutions

A thermodynamic description of methane and  ethane sorption by asphaltenes from petroleum gas condensate is proposed. Experimental  data demonstrate that the major part of gases is dissolved in asphaltenes. The  accounting of this effect suggests the
averaged equation of state for sorbed gas  identical by shape to the Vant-Hoff equation for diluted solutions. The  developed approach that utilizes the analogy to gas dissolution in liquids  leads to an efficient thermodynamic method for calculation of natural gas components  sorption by asphaltenes at supercritical temperatures and pressures corresponding  to the conditions of real exploitation of gas deposits.

Solubility of palladium chloride complexes  with organic ligands in supercritical carbon
dioxide (SC-CO2)  is studied. The possibility of utilization of SC-CO2 for  synthesis
and regeneration of supported palladium  catalysts is examined. The solutions of palladium
chloride complexes with organic ligands in  SC-CO2  were used for deposition of the
catalyst active component. The catalyst  sample deactivated in the reaction (acethylene
hydrogenation in ethane-ethylene mixture)  was also regenerated in SC-CO2  in a wide
range of parameters. The comparison of  specific surface area values and activities of

fresh, used (deactivated) and regenerated  samples demonstrates high competitive
power of the suggested methods utilizing  SC-CO2 in comparison with traditional
ones used for catalyst regeneration.

Silver-containing  nanocomposites are fabricated by impregnation of Vycor glass (4 nm
pore  diameter) and synthetic opals (40 nm interstice size) with Ag(hfac)COD
(cyclooctadiene  complex of silver hexafluoroacetylacetonate) silver precursor dissolved
in  supercritical carbon dioxide, and studied with optical absorption spectroscopy,  atomic
force  microscopy and electron spin resonance (ESR) technique. Plasmon resonances
of  Ag nanoparticles at 420-430 nm were revealed for Ag(hfac)COD impregnated
Vycor  glass and opal matrixes after thermal treatment on air at temperatures above

50  °C. Shapes of plasmon resonances for both types of samples are  conditioned by the
morphology  of their porous space in which silver nanoparticles are formed in the
course  of thermal treatment after the SCF impregnation. Paramagnetic species Cu(hfac)2
(copper  hexafluoroacetylacetonate) are used as spectroscopic probes for ESR
measurements  of precursor distribution in Vycor glass and opal after their SCF
impregnation.

Key words: thermal gravitational convection, thermodynamic critical point, Navier-Stokes equations, numerical and physical experiment

Two problems, the thermal gravity  convection in a horizontal layer caused by heating from bellow and the  unsteady-state heat transfer in a closed domain heated from boundaries, are  considered for demonstrating characteristic features of heat transfer

in a supercritical fluid. The isoentropic  equilibrium of a compressible fluid is considered with the use of the van der  Waals equation of state. The results of calculations are generalized, and the  characteristic features of the convective heat transfer are discussed for the  case of a supercritical fluid beyond the threshold of hydrostatic stability. The  results of numerical and experimental studies of the relaxation of density and temperature  perturbations caused by changing the wall temperature are presented. A set of  Navier-Stokes equations supplemented with the equation of state for a perfect  or a van der Waals gas was used for the calculations.

Strongylocentrotus intermedius is studied. It is showen that water-alcohol  extract has no
remarkable effect onto gametes, process  fertilization, development of embryo and
larvae of sea urchin. If the SC extract is  added during the gamete fusion, the fertilization
and cell-division of blastomers are not  affected, but the gastrulation becomes abnormal —  
the exogastrulas are formed. Moreover, during  the cultivation of embryo in a cultural
medium with SC extracts, the growth of  Infusoria is depressed. It is likely that the
origin of differences in the biological  effects of SC and water-alcohol extracts ought to
look for in peptide or secondary metabolite  fractions, since no distinct differences in
li pid fractions are detected.
