Key words: tetra-n-octylamide of diglycolic acid, supercritical fluid extraction, carbon dioxide, water, nitric acid, interphase equilibria
Data on the solubility of diglycolic acid tetran-n-octylamide (TODHA) in supercritical (SC) carbon dioxide at 310-360 K and a pressure of 80-250 bar were obtained. The influence of the presence of an aqueous phase containing nitric acid on the solubility of TODGA in SC-CO2 has been studied. It is shown that the equilibria in the TODGA—water—nitric acid—CO2 system depend in a complex way on the content of each component in it and the state parameters. The patterns characteristic of the TODGA—SC-CO2 dual system cannot be transferred to the four-component TODGA—water—nitric acid—CO2 system, since the presence of highly polar water and nitric acid in it has a critically strong effect on the transition of TODGA to the fluid phase, despite the very low solubility in the structure of these compounds.
