Abstract

An apparatus based on the static-analytic method was used to measure the vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) for CO2 + alkanol systems. Equilibrium measurements for the CO2 + 1-propanol system were performed from 344 to 426 K. For the case of the CO2 + 2-propanol system, measurements were made from 334 to 443 K, and for the CO2 + 1-butanol were obtained from 354 to 430 K. VLE data were correlated with the Peng-Robinson equation of state using the classical and the Wong-Sandler mixing rules. Moreover, compressed liquid densities for the n-dodecane and n-tridecane were obtained via a vibrating tube densitometer at temperatures from 313 to 363 K and pressures up to 25 MPa. The Starling and Han (BWRS), and The five-parameter Modified Toscani-Swarcz (MTS) equations were used to correlate them. The experimental density data were compared with those from literature, and with the calculated values obtained from available equations for these n-alkanes.
