The production of biomethane from biogas energy costsfor the most widely used amine and water processes for extracting carbon dioxide from biogas were analyzed using computer simulation. Combined water-amine absorption method of biogas purification from CO2 wasincluded in the comparative analysis. For the CO2 content of the biogas from 32 to 42 %, the specific energy costs when using water absorption to extract carbon dioxide from biogas are, on average, in ~ 2.5 times lower than amine absorption, but the loss of CH4 by water absorption was 7.1–7.6 % due to its watersolubility with practically zero CH4 loss when using amine absorption and insignificant loss (0.17–2.8 %) using water-amine technology. Using preliminary water absorption of CO2 saved CH4 can compensate the power consumption of the biogas compressor or the heatcosts of saturated amine absorbent regenerating. This will allowto reduce energy consumption to almost equal to water absorptionone. The results of simulation of carbon dioxide extraction from biogas can be used to optimize technological absorption schemes for the production of biomethane — an analogueof natural gas.

The research of technological circuits of biomethane from biogas production with the use of the most widespread amine and water absorption processes of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide removal from biogas is carried out. With the use of software modeling for the amine process, an effective absorbent MDEAmod — an aqueous solution of methyldiethanolamine and monoethanolamine is proposed. This absorbent can be effectively applied to a wide range of biogas and for a range of pressure practically from atmospheric to 0.28 MPa. At the same time, the heat load of desorber reboiler is less in 1.5–4 times compared with the use of monoethanolamine solutions.Comparison of energy costs for the production of biomethane using amine and water technology shows that taking into account the greater yield of biomethane in the amine process by 8–15 % than in water absorption (loss of CH4 due to dissolution in H2O), and the use of this difference to heat the amine desorber reboiler these costs are comparative. In the case of the need to produce carbon dioxide as a commodity product, the amine process has an advantage, since the CO2 achieved in this process has a concentration of 98 % versus 80 % when using water absorption. The obtained results of simulation of СО2 and H2S removal process by amine and water absorption can be used in technologies of biogas refining and production of biomethane - an analogue of natural gas, as well as carbon dioxide as a commercial product.

Supercritical fluid extraction was used to extract the alkaloid N-[7-(3′,4′-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2(Z),4(Z)-heptadienoyl]pyrrolidine from leaves of Piper amalago L. A three-level orthogonal array design matrix, OAD OA9(34), was used for optimization of the parameters of supercritical extraction of the alkaloid, employing supercritical carbon dioxide: extraction time (20, 40, and 60 min), temperature (40, 50, and 60°C), pressure (150, 200, and 250 bar), and the use of cosolvents (ethanol, methanol, and propyleneglycol). All parameters had significant effect on the alkaloid yield. The alkaloid yield after 60 min of extraction without cosolvents at 9 different conditions (32) in terms of temperature (40, 50, and 60°C) and pressure (150, 200, and 250 bar) was also evaluated. The optimal yield (≈3.8 mg g−1) was obtained with supercritical CO2 + methanol (5% v : v) at 40°C and 200 bar for 60 min of extraction.
