Representing solute solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide: A novel empirical model

In this paper, a new empirical model proposed for mathematical representation of solutes solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide. The accuracy of the proposed model is compared to previously published models in literature using experimental data of dyes and drugs collected from literature (more than 2400 data points). According to obtained results, the proposed model presents much more accurate estimation/prediction for in solubility. So, in order to accelerate the industrial processes, the proposed model can be employed and strongly recommended. (C) 2014 The Institution of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier B.V.
