The solubility, compressed liquid and saturation density of phenol in supercritical CO2

Abstract

Phenol has been used as herbicide, and is a common pollutant of soils and residual industrial water. It has health effects even at very low concentration. Remediation of polluted soils and residual water can be made using supercritical fluid technology. The solubility of phenol was measured using an apparatus based on the static-synthetic method connected to a vibrating tube densitometer. The compressed liquid density and the saturation density could be measured with this apparatus. The apparatus was tested previously with the CO2 + naphthalene system. The determination of the saturation density could be used to improve the correlation of the solubility using semi-empirical models. Solubility data were correlated using an expression based on the dilute solution theory. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Annual Meeting and Fall Showcase (Cincinnati, OH 10/30/2005-11/4/2005).
