Abstract: Vapor liquid equilibrium data for SCF CO2+ methanol mixtures at 50, 100, 150 and 200 ℃ and for SCF CO2+ ethanol mixtures at 60, 80, 140 and 180 ℃ have been measured. The pressure in the experiments ranged from 4.0 to 16.2 MPa. The measurements were carried out in a cylindrical autoclave with a moveable piston and a window for observation. The results of compositions of the two coexisting phases are given and shown as p x diagrams. We have correlated phase equilibrium data with the equation of state(a repulsion term, Carnahan Starling One Fluid, an attraction term, Square Well Pade Approximant). The calculated results agree fairly with the experimental data.
