Description of the Solubility of Supercritical Fluid in Hydrocarbons over a Wide Range of Pressures and Temperatures

Key Points

• The research aims to describe the solubility behavior of supercritical fluids in hydrocarbons across different temperature and pressure conditions.
• Employed an error function minimization method to derive empirical parameters.
• Calculated the solubility of supercritical CO2 in cyclohexane and kerosene at 313 K and varied pressures.
• Compared calculated solubility data with experimental results for accuracy.
• The proposed method achieved a standard deviation of the calculated data from experimental data of no more than 8.2%.
• Demonstrated effective prediction of supercritical CO2 solubility in tested hydrocarbons.
