Supercritical-fluid extraction (SCFE) for the removal of toxic chlorinated organics from water has been studied using a continuous-flow view-cell system. The solubilities of pure 1,2-dichloroethane, I,I,2-trichloroethane, and 1,1,2,2,-tetrachloroethane in subcritical and supercritical CO2 have been obtained at 313.2 and 323.2 K and over a pressure range of 6.2-8.27 MPa. All the compounds studied were completely miscible in CO2 at the temperatures studied and at pressure > 9 MPa. Equilibrium data for the removal of these compounds from water using supercritical CO2 were obtained at two temperatures (313.2 and 323.2 K) and over a pressure range 9.65-16.54 MPa. The distribution coefficients (K-values) of these three compounds between supercritical CO2 and an aqueous phases were in the range of 20 to 200. These high distribution coefficients verify that extraction with supercritical CO2 is an effective method to remove chlorinated hydrocarbons from water. The results have been modeled using a hard-sphere, perturbation-theory-based Carnahan-Starling-DeSantis-Redlich-Kwong equation of state and simple mixture rules.
