High pressure vapor–liquid equilibrium measurements of carbon dioxide with naphthalene and benzoic acid

Abstract

High pressure vapor–liquid equilibrium data for binary systems of carbon dioxide with naphthalene and benzoic acid were measured at three different temperatures for each system. Experimental temperatures and pressures ranged from 373 to 458 K and 0 to 22 MPa, respectively. Dew points were also measured for naphthalene in the CO 2 rich region. The data measured provides valuable solubility information and is used to derive gas–solvent group interaction parameters for the predictive Soave–Redlich–Kwong equation of state.
