Abstract
The paper reports new experimental data and the results of the thermodynamic modeling of menthol solubility in pressurized CO2. The solubility was measured using the dynamic method and modeled with the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state in the temperature range 30-60?C and pressure range 66-144 bar. The results obtained were compared with the solubility data published by Maier and Stephan and by Sovov? and Jez. The agreement with Maier and Stephan was very good: The deviation of the solubilities, published by Sovov? and Jez, from the other data sources was explained and revised accordingly. The paper also presents for the first time experimental and modeling data for the melting point depression of menthol in the presence of carbon dioxide in the pressure range of interest up to 60 bars. The experimental data was obtained comparing the appearance of menthol particles before and after their exposure to pressurized carbon dioxide.
