Abstract
An equation-of-state (EoS) scheme to correlate the solubility of solids in supercritical fluids is presented. The solute fugacity coefficient is obtained using the pure-solvent compressibility factor, and empirical solute-to-solvent parameter ratios of cohesion factors and covolumes. The proposed method is simpler than EoS conventional calculations since no iteration is required. We retain the link to classical cubic EoS and mixing rules and showcase the application employing both the Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson EoS. The method uses two adjustable parameters, which are computed from experimental data for several binary systems and used to predict solubilities. The results have been favorably compared to those computed by other methods. The advantage of EoS-based models over empirical ones has been emphasized for cases where the solubilities are extrapolated beyond the range of experimental data. The proposal is advantageous for correlating solubility of thermolabile solids in supercritical fluids since no critical properties of the solute are required.
