Thermodynamic modeling of solid solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide: Comparison between mixing rules

Abstract

In this paper, Peng Robinson equation of state is used for thermodynamic modeling of the solubility of various solid components in the supercritical carbon dioxide. Moreover, the effects of three mixing rules of Van der Waals mixing rules, Panagiotopoulos and Reid mixing rules and modified Kwak and Mansoori mixing rules on the accuracy of calculation results were studied. Good correlations between calculated and experimental data were obtained in the wide temperature and pressure range. A comparison between used models shows that modified Kwak and Mansoori mixing rules give better correlations in comparison with the other mixing rules.
