Abstract
The development of alternative solvents is one of the research areas of Green Chemistry. Among these, the supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2-sc) is one of the most promising, because it is cheap, readily available, atoxic, odorless, not flammable, being easily recycled and removed from the final product, besides having a mild critical point (Pc=73.8 bar e Tc=31.1ºC). Its solubilizing capac…
