The solubility of solid 1,4-dimethylaminoanthraquinone (Disperse Blue 14) in supercritical carbon dioxide has been determined in the pressure range of 100-350 bar and in the temperature range of 313-353 K. The values obtained have been correlated with two types of model: the first is based on empirical and semiempirical equations and the second is based on thermodynamic aspects and the use of equations of state, namely Redlich-Kwong (RK), Soave-RedlichKwong (SRK) and Peng-Robinson (PR) equations. The thermodynamic model, based on fitting the solid sublimation pressure and binary interaction parameter, shows better agreement with the experimental data than the empirical and semiempirical equations.
