Abstract
The correlation of vapor-liquid equilibrium data for high-pressure carbon dioxide systems is of interest in a number of industrial applications, including supercritical extraction. Here, we consider the correlation of data for 12 binary systems of carbon dioxide separately with alcohols, with hydrocarbons, and with acetone, benzene, and water. The Wong-Sandler (W-S) and modified Huron — Vidal first order (MHV1) free energy-based equation of state mixing rules (the W-S and MHV1 models) were used in the calculations. Both combined equation of state+free energy models generally resulted in good correlations of the experimental data over wide ranges of temperature and pressure with temperature — independent parameters. However, for the carbon dioxide+water system, the W-S model produced an 11% average absolute deviation in pressure, while no parameter that resulted in an AAD in pressure of less than 20% could be found for the MHV1 model.
