Abstract

In this work, experimental vapor-liquid equilibrium (T, p, xi, yi) data for the ternary carbon dioxide-ethanol-nonane and carbon dioxide-ethanol-decane systems are reported in the temperature range of 313-373K from low pressures to the nearest of the corresponding critical pressure. Measurements were performed in an apparatus based on the static-analytic method with an on-line ROLSI sampler-injector device. Vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for both ternary systems are predicted using the Peng-Robinson equation of state coupled to the Wong-Sandler, one parameter van der Waals and two parameters van der Waals mixing rules. Binary interaction parameters are obtained from the VLE data of binary mixtures reported in the literature.
