Introduction
Thermodynamic knowledge of the high-pressure phase behavior of carbon dioxide + alcohol mixtures is essential for the design and
implementation of many chemical and biotechnological processes. In this work the fluid phase behavior of the binary system carbon dioxide
+ 1-nonanol has been measured. The experimental data were modelled with the SRK-EOS coupled with the Huron-Vidal infinite dilution
(HVID) mixing rules and with the MHV2-UNIFAC ‘87.
Experimental work
Phase behavior measurements were made in a high-pressure visual cell with variable volume based on the static-analytical method. A detailed
description of the apparatus and experimental procedure was presented in an earlier paper [1].
Vapor-liquid and vapor-liquid-liquid equilibria data for the carbon dioxide + 1-nonanol system at 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, 333.15 and 353.15
K up to 103.3 bar were determined. The three-phase equilibrium data and the upper critical endpoint were measured.
Modelling
The Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) equation of state coupled with the Huron-Vidal infinite dilution (HVID) mixing rules [2] was used to
predict the complex phase behavior (Critical curve, LLV line, isothermal VLE, and VLLE). The SRK-MHV2-UNIFAC ’87 model was
applied to predict the VLE at constant temperatures.

Conclusions
A visual high-pressure variable volume static-analytic apparatus was used to obtain VLE and VLLE data. As also confirmed by the
measurements of Scheidgen, the phase behavior of the mixture of carbon dioxide + 1-nonanol can be attributed to type III. The SRK/HVID
model is successful in modeling qualitatively the complicated topology of the phase behavior of the system under study. The presented
system in this work is a part of an extended study about binary mixtures containing carbon dioxide + alcohols [1, 4-5].
