Abstract

U ovom su radu procijenjene topljivosti prirodnih pesticida – složenih organskih spojeva
(triterpenoidi azadirahtin, nimbin i salanin dobiveni iz nima te piretrini piretrin I i II, cinerin I
i II i jasmolin I i II dobiveni iz cvjetova različitih vrsti krizantema) – u smjesama nadkritičnog
CO2 i etanola. Potrebni parametri za procjenu topljivosti dobiveni su raspoloživim
empirijskim metodama, odnosno Peng-Robinsonovom jednadžbom stanja. Ravnotežni tlakovi
sublimacije procijenjeni različitim metodama međusobno nisu slagali i za po nekoliko redova
veličine, što je uvelike ograničavalo pouzdanost procjena topljivosti. Proračun topljivosti
stoga je ograničen samo na nimbin – rezultati su pokazali da se najveća topljivost može
očekivati pri nižim temperaturama i srednjim tlakovima, te da povećanje udjela etanola u
smjesi s nadkritičnim CO2 povećava njegovu topljivost.

Abstract (english)

In this paper the solubilities of natural pesticides – complex organic compounds (triterpenoids
azadirachtin, nimbin and salanin derived from neem seeds and pyrethrins pyrethrin I and II,
cinnerin I and II and jasmolin I and II obtained from the flowers of various chrysanthemum
species) – in the mixtures of supercritical CO2 and ethanol were estimated. The required
parameters for assessing the solubility were obtained by available empirical methods as well
as with the Peng-Robinson equation of state. The sublimation pressures of pure solids
estimated with different methods were not coherent and differed by several orders of
magnitude, which greatly limited the reliability of obtained estimates. Therefore only the
solubility of nimbin was calculated – the results showed that the largest solubility may be
expected at lower temperatures and medium pressures; the increase of ethanol content in the
mixture with CO2 was found to increase the solubility.
