Abstract

Isothermal phase equilibrium data were measured for the binary systems of tetrafluoromethane with either perfluorohexane or perfluorooctane to investigate the effect of carbon chain length of the solvent with regards to the solubility of tetrafluoromethane. Both the “static-analytic” and the “static-synthetic” methods were utilized to measure the high-pressure phase equilibrium data. Isothermal measurements were performed within the temperature range of (283.15–303.15) K and at pressures up to 11 MPa. Vapour pressure data for perfluorohexane and perfluorooctane were measured within the temperature range of (283.15–323.15) K. Additionally, isothermal vapour-liquid equilibrium data were measured for the binary system of carbon dioxide + n-hexane at 313.15 K; the data were utilized to validate the experimental method. The experimental data were modeled using the Peng-Robinson equation of state with the Wong-Sandler mixing rule and Non-Random Two-Liquid excess Gibbs energy model. The model provides a satisfactory representation of the experimental data within the measured temperature range.
