Solid - Gas Equilibrium in Systems Containing Aromatic Compounds and Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Abstract

A cubic equation of state, GEOS, with quadratic mixing rules and two adjustable parameters was used to calculate the solid � gas equilibrium in aromatic compounds + supercritical carbon dioxide systems. The results are in good agreement with the experimental data for temperatures between 308 K and 343 K and pressures up to 360 bar. The adjustable parameters kij and lij used in the mixing rules vary linearly with the temperature or remain constant for the investigated systems. Based on this observation, the binary interaction parameters and hence, the solubilities of the studied solid aromatic compounds in supercritical carbon dioxide can be predicted.
