Key words: porcine cartilage, decellularization, surfactants, supercritical CO2, ethanol, histological studies, DNA, mesenchymal stromal cells

At obtaining tissue-specific scaffolds of dense tissues from decellularized porcine articular cartilage it was found that full decellularization of tissue takes surfactant treatment followed by supercritical fluides treatment. An introduction of ethanol as a polarity modifier enables to increase significantly a completeness of cartilage decellularization backgrounded by reduction of the destructive changes in the extracellular matrix. Preservation of morphology and active proliferation of mesenchymal stromal cells of human adi pose tissue in the presence of tissue-specific scaffold of porcine cartilage evidence an opportunity of its use as a cell carrier for tissue engineering of cartilage.

The synthesis of strontium and barium titanates supported on the porous carrier (α-Al2O3) was performed via the treatment of the previously deposited precursors (titanium oxide, strontium nitrate, barium nitrite) in the water fluid medium at 400 °C. The obtained samples were characterized using the X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy combined with Energy Dispersion X-Ray analysis (SEM-EDX) techniques. It was found that in the presence of titanium oxide α-alumina undergoes a partial hydration with the formation of the basic aluminum hydroxide AlO(OH) (boemite) that was not found using the XRD method after the treatment of the pure α-Al2O3 in the same conditions. Using the SEM-EDX method we demonstrated that in spite of much higher content of alumina in the samples, strontium ions preferably interact with titania forming SrTiO3. It was shown that samples with different spatial distribution of the supported component inside the carrier particle can be obtained by varying the method of the preliminary deposition of the titania precursor (titanium tetra-iso-propoxide).

Mechanisms controlling the nucleation kinetics in the foamed amorphous D,L-polylactide, which is preliminary plasticized using sub-ical or supercritical carbon dioxide, are established using analysis of videodata on the depressurization-induced quasi-isothermal (313,3 K) foaming of the polymer. Possible scenarios of the phase separation in the polylatide—carbon dioxide system at the stage, which precedes the expressed foam formation, are considered.

Key words: Scots pine, supercritical fluid extraction, essential oil, terpenes, antibacterial activity

The paper presents a comparative analysis of influence of extraction methods that meet the princi ples of «green chemistry» on the extraction degree of components from the wood greenery of Pinus sylvestris. Analysis of the obtained alcohol extract, essential oil and supercritical extracts by GC-MS method showed that differences are observed in both the quantitative and qualitative composition of the studied objects. The highest selectivity of the diterpene fraction extraction and the expansion of the spectrum of individual components extracted from wood greenery by supercritical fluid extraction with carbon dioxide compared to traditional extraction methods while maintaining a high antimicrobial activity of the resulting extract to suppress Escherichia coli strains is shown.

A comparative study of n-butane conversion into aromatic hydrocarbons over ZSM-5 zeolite in H-form and modified with gallium and platinum at 530 °C in gas phase (1 atm) and under supercritical conditions (190 atm) was carried out. The catalysts demonstrate high activity, stability, and productivity under supercritical conditions. In contrast to the gas phase process, modification of ZSM-5 zeolite with gallium and platinum had no affect on the distribution of n-butane aromatization products in supercritical conditions.

Key words: aqueous salt solutions, phase equilibria, immiscibility, critical phenomena

The study concerns phase equilibria and critical phenomena in the Na2SO4—Na2B4O7—H2O system with two boundary subsystems: Na2B4O7—H2O (type 1 with liquid phase immiscibility of solutions) and Na2SO4—H2O (type 2) at 350—460 °C and pressure up to 100 MPa. It is shown that there are two three-phase regions — (l1-l2-s) adjacent to two aqueous salt subsystems and separated by a fluid region at the temperatures from 440 °C (critical point Q (l1=l2-s) of the type 2 binary system) to ~455 °C when these regions integrate with each other. The three-component system is characterized by two critical curves in saturated solutions. The curves extend from different critical points of the type 2 binary subsystem — g=l-s (point p) and l1=l2-s (point Q). These curves end at the ternary critical points — pR (g=l1-l2-s) and QN (g-l1=l2-s), respectively, with a four-phase equilibrium (g-l1-l2-s) between them in the temperature range of 350—380 °C, according to the visual observations in sealed quartz ampoules.

The phase equilibrium of the propylene glycol—propane/butane system and the solubility of propylene glycol in supercritical propane-butane mixture at temperatures 403, 423 and 443 K using a high-pressure optical cell were studied. The results were described using the Peng—Robinson equation of state and the Mukhopadhyay and Rao mixing law.
