abstract
Phenolic compounds represent a class of important chemicals with both biological and industrial importance. Their production, either by chemical synthesis or extraction from different biological media requires the adequate knowledge of phase equilibria. Particularly, the solubility in aqueous systems organic and supercritical solvents are fundamental for a better design of separation and purification processes.
