MODELACIÓN MATEMÁTICA DE LA EXTRACCIÓN DE CAFEINA EMPLEANDO SOLVENTES VERDES.

Pure caffeine is a commercial product that can be extracted from natural sources, conventional solvents are used for this process. However, the alternative is to use the so-called green solvents, which have less harmful impacts on the environment and health, based on the GSK classification. In this work, caffeine extraction is being carried out from a pill that contains this compound in a pure form, using various solvents and calculating its efficiency and effective diffusivity. With the current results, it can be said that ethyl acetate is the best solvent, from the economic efficiency, and the environmental and health impact, knowing that results of other solvents are lacking.
