High pressure cloud-point data were reported for poly-(2-butoxyethyl acrylate) [P(2-BEA)] in propane (C 3 H 8 ), propylene (C 3 H 6 ), butane (C 4 H 10 ), 1-butene (C 4 H 8 ), and dimethyl ether (DME) (CH 3 OCH 3 ), as well as for the P(2-BEA) + 2-butoxyethyl acrylate (2-BEA) (or DME) system in supercritical CO 2 . Cloud-point pressures for the P(2-BEA) + C 3 hydrocarbons curves were ca. 22 MPa higher than those for P(2-BEA) + C 4 hydrocarbons, at a constant temperature of ca. 393 K. The cloud-point pressure for the P(2-BEA) + DME system was located between C 3 and C 4 hydrocarbons at pressures below ca. 20.0 MPa. The P(2-BEA) + CO 2 + 0.649 and 0.680 2-BEA phase behavior curves intersect a one phase (fluid) → two phases (liquid + vapor) curve at temperatures of 353.6 K (at 24.5 MPa) and 413.4 K (at 32.3 MPa). The location of the P(2-BEA) + CO 2 cloud-point curve shifts to lower temperatures and pressures upon the addition of 2-BEA or DME. Vapor−liquid phase equilibrium data at high pressures were presented for the CO 2 + 2-BEA system at temperatures ranging from (313.2 to 393.2) K and pressures up to 20.38 MPa. The CO 2 + 2-BEA system exhibits type-I phase behavior with a continuous critical mixture curve and was adequately modeled using the Peng−Robinson equation of state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
