Abstract

In this work, a modified Redlich–Kwong (βRK) equation of state has been proposed to calculate the solubilities of twenty solids including Ascorbic acid, Fluoranthene, Propyl gallate, Acenaphthene, Asprin, Climbazole, Cinnamic acid, Triclocarban, 4-methoxyphenylacetic acid, Phenoxyacetic acid, Cholesterol,Cholesteryl butyrate, Cholestrol acetat,Triphenylene, Ibuprofen, Acetanilide, Propanamide, Butanamide, Chrysene and Dodecyl gallate in supercritical carbon dioxide (440 data points). The proposed equation of state has been coupled with the van der Waals zero (vdW0) mixing rule. To distinguish the accuracy of the proposed model, the results of the model have been compared with the results of Peng–Robinson (PR) equation of state in combination with the van der Waals one (vdW1) and the Wong-Sandler (WS) mixing rules. The calculation results showed that the proposed model performed well for reproducing the solubility of these twenty solids in supercritical carbon dioxide with absolute average relative deviation (AARD) = 5.7 %.
