The accurate determination
of the solubilities of the typical impurity
gases present in captured CO2 in the carbon capture, utilization,
and storage chain is an essential prerequisite for the successful
modeling of the CO2 stream thermodynamic properties. In
this paper, Henry’s law constants and the vapor–liquid
distribution coefficients of six noncondensable gases, namely, N2, O2, H2, CH4, Ar, and CO,
at infinite dilution in liquid CO2 are derived based on
published vapor–liquid equilibrium data at temperatures ranging
from the triple point (216.59 K) to the critical point (304.13 K)
of CO2. The temperature dependence of Henry’s law
constants of the six gases is correlated using approximating functions
previously proposed for aqueous solutions. A correlation that provides
the best fit for the Henry constants data for all the six gases, with
the accuracy (absolute average deviation %) of 4.2%, is recommended.
For N2, O2, H2, Ar, and CO, the combined
standard uncertainty in the derived Henry constants is less than 6%,
whereas for CH4, due to a larger deviation between the
utilized data, the uncertainty is less than 18%. Analysis of the temperature
variation of the vapor–liquid distribution coefficient at infinite
dilution shows that when all the six gases are present in the CO2 stream, separation of N2, O2, Ar, and
CO from CO2 can be problematic due to their similar volatilities,
while the distinct volatilities of H2 and CH4 at lower temperatures make their separation from CO2 easier.
