Abstract:

Vapor-liquid phase equilibrium data of tertbutanol in the SC-CO2 from 323.2 K to 353.2 K were determined by constant-volume visual method. The phase equilibrium model was established by Peng-Robinson equation of state and Vander Waals-2 mixed regulation. Model parameters were obtained by nonlinear least square method optimization calculation. Furthermore, the correlation equations of model parameters vs. temperature were obtained: k12=-199.2066+1.8136T-0.00548T2+5.50×10-6T3, n12=-384.5626+3.4960T-0.01056T2+1.06×10-5T3. Critical properties of critical pressure, critical temperature, critical molar volume and critical density were deduced. The results showed that critical temperature, critical pressure and critical compressibility factor of CO2-tertbutanol system would decrease with the increasement of critical CO2 content.
