The ability to predict the behavior of high-pressure mixtures of carbon dioxide and alcohol is crucial for industrial purposes. In this study, the equilibrium composition of three binary carbon dioxide-alcohol systems was measured under different temperatures and pressures, revealing different compositions due to variations in vapor pressures, polarities, and solute-solute interactions.
The ability to predict the behaviour of high-pressure mixtures of carbon dioxide and alcohol is important for industrial purposes. The equilibrium composition of three binary carbon dioxide-alcohol systems was measured at temperatures of 313.15 K and 333.15 K and at pressures of up to 100 bar for carbon dioxide-2-propanol, up to 160 bar for carbon dioxide-1-butanol and up to 150 bar for carbon dioxide-2-butanol. Different equilibrium compositions of carbon dioxide in alcohols were observed despite their similar molecular weight (M2-propanol = 60.100 g mol(-1), M1-butanol = 74.121 g mol(-1) and M2-butanol = 74.122 g mol(-1)) and place in the functional hydroxyl group (first or second carbon molecule). It is assumed that the differences in the phase equilibria are due to different vapor pressures, polarities and solute-solute interactions.
