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 313 373 K 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.
