Vapor-liquid equilibrium of carbon dioxide-perfluoroalkane mixtures: Experimental data and SAFT modeling
Pressure-composition diagrams were measured at different temperatures ranging from 293.15 to 353.15 K for different perfluoroalkaties including, linear (perfl u oro-n -octane), cyclic (perfluorodecalin and perfluoromethylcyclohexane), and aromatic compounds (perfluorobenzene and perfluorotoluene), at pressures up to 100 bar. Measurements were performed using a high-pressure cell with a sapphire window that allows direct observation of the phase transition. The different molecular structures were chosen in order to check the influence of the nature of the solvent on the carbon dioxide solubility. The soft-statistical associating fluid theory (soft-SAFT) equation of state (EoS) was used to describe the phase behavior of the mixtures studied, searching for transferable parameters with predictive capability. Optimized values for the chain length, Lennard-Jones (U) diameter, and dispersive energy are provided for the different perfluoroalkanes and for carbon dioxide. The effect of the explicit inclusion of a quadrupole moment on carbon dioxide, perfluorobenzene, and perfluorotoluene was studied by adding a polar term to the original soft-SAFT EoS.
