Abstract
The solubilities of acetoin (3-hydroxy-2-butanone), a frequently used buttery-odor compound in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) at several pressures and temperatures were measured in this work. The measurements were conducted in a static-analytic mode at several pressures ranging from 8MPa to 28MPa and four temperatures of 313.15K, 323.15K, 333.15K, and 343.15K. The equilibrium was established for 3–4h. The solubilities of acetoin in SC-CO2 increased with increasing both pressure and temperature beyond the crossover pressure at 8MPa. Two density-based models namely Chrastil and Del Valle-Aguilera and Peng–Robinson equation of state (PR-EOS) with quadratic and Stryjek–Vera mixing rules were used to represent experimental solubilities and to describe phase behavior of the system. Both Chrastil and Del Valle-Aguilera models were able to correlate experimental solubility data satisfactorily with absolute average relative deviation (AARD) of 0.27%. Similarly, the phase equilibrium behavior of acetoin+supercritical CO2 binary system can be well interpreted by PR-EOS with quadratic (AARD of 0.11%) and Stryjek–Vera mixing rules (AARD of 0.08%).
