Abstract
In this paper, we report new PVTx measurements for water + toluene binary mixtures at 11 near-critical and supercritical isotherms T = 623, 627, 629, 631, 633, 643, 645, 647, 649, 651, and 673 K and pressures up to 39 MPa at a fixed concentration of x = 0.0287 mole fraction of toluene. Using these PVTx data together with data obtained earlier by other authors, we developed a crossover Helmholtz free-energy model (CREOS) for pure toluene and dilute aqueous toluene solutions in a wide range of the parameters of state around the vapor−liquid critical points. In the temperature range 593 K ≤ T ≤ 680 K and density range 100 kg·m-3 ≤ ρ ≤ 500 kg·m-3, the CREOS reproduces the PVT data for pure toluene with an average absolute deviation (AAD) of about 0.5%, the CP data with an AAD of about 1%, and the sound velocity data with an AAD of about 2.6%. In water + toluene mixtures, the CREOS yields an adequate description of all available experimental data in the region bounded by 0.35ρc(x) ≤ ρ ≤ 1.65ρc(x) and 0.98Tc(x)...
