The solid solubility of propyl p-hydroxybenzoate was measured for the first time in supercritical carbon dioxide at temperatures of (308.15, 318.15 and 328.15) K and pressures from (8.0 to 23.0) MPa. The influence of cosolventsscyclohexane, cyclohexane + acetone (molar ratio 1:1), and acetoneswas studied at a mole fraction of 0.035. The data were obtained by using a flow-type phase equilibrium apparatus, which was further tested by measuring the solubility of benzoic acid in compressed CO 2 . The measured solubilities in supercritical CO 2 without and with cosolvents were correlated using the Chrastil equation and the modified Chrastil equation, respectively.
