138 TAYLOR CARBONELL DESIMONE 6. Homogeneous catalysis in SCFs provides rates or selectivities that can be signif- icantly higher than in conventional solvents. Hydrogenation of scCO2 into formic acid is a classic reaction (84–88). A number of reports have been published that demonstrate continuous hydrogenation using fixed-bed catalysts (89, 90). Epoxi- dation of tBUOOH in CO2 has been reported (91). Alkylation reactions have also been reported (92, 93). Heterogeneous catalysis in scCO2 is also an active area of research, and a recent publication has reviewed the field (94). Alkylation (95), esterification (96,97), hydrogenation (89, 90, 98, 99), and oxidation (100) are some of the reactions that have been reported in scCO2. Isomerization of 1-hexene has been accomplished using CO2 and cosolvent of n-pentane and n-hexane (101,102). The use of SCFs as nonaqueous solvents for enzyme-catalyzed reactions pro- vides all the advantages typically associated with this type of media as well as the ability to control biocatalytic reactions. The focal point of interest in this field employs carbon dioxide as the reaction medium. A variety of lipase enzymes have been studied in acidolysis (103–105), oxidation (106), esterification (107, 108), and racemic (109) reactions [see the recent review by Mesiano et al (110)]. CONCLUSIONS The uses of liquid and supercritical CO2 have developed substantially over the last few years, with viable applications now existing in polymer synthesis, coatings, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, solid supports, and the dry cleaning industry. This emerging technology platform has the potential to improve energy efficiency, reduce/eliminate emissions, eliminate health and safety hazards re- lated to handling and shipping noxious chemicals, and enhance the manufacturing throughput. A number of concepts have already been demonstrated, but there are still sev- eral barriers to adopting the CO2-based applications presented in this review. There is a large capital cost associated with the current engineering approach to high- pressure reactor designs. Furthermore, there are currently few investment incen- tives for adopting pollution prevention policies. It is clear that new chemistry is needed to improve current processes and promote the development of new materials properties. Creative new chemistry would enable new processes while avoiding the need for solvents or water, enable a deeper understanding of current processes through model compounds, and enable integration of the reaction and separation processes. The fundamental ground work in the field of CO2 research has been laid, but in addition to the barriers outlined above, two problems remain: (a) effectively com- municating what should be targeted in this vast field and (b) making the scientific community adequately informed so they can communicate across disciplines and across industrial, governmental, and academic barriers. Overcoming these ob- stacles to adopting a carbon dioxide technology platform is a pivotal point inPDF Image | OPPORTUNITIES FOR POLLUTION PREVENTION
