Abstract

The solubility data of acetophenone in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) were measured using a static method at several temperatures (313.15, 323.15, 333.15, and 343.15K) and pressures ranging from10 MPa to 28 MPa. The density based models (Chrastil and Del valle– Aguilera models) and the Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR-EOS) with quadratic and Stryjek-Vera combining rules were employed to correlate the experimental data. Good correlations between the calculated and experimental solubility data were obtained. The sum of squared errors (SSE) are 0.38 % and 0.37 % for Chrastil and Del Valle – Aguilera models, respectively; and 9.07 % for Peng-Robinson equation of state with quadratic combining rule and 4.00 % for Peng-Robinson equation of state with Stryjek-Vera combining rule.

Keywords: Acetophenone, equation of state, semi empirical model, solubility, static mode, supercritical fluid.
