Abstract

The solubilities of three chlorophenols, namely, 4-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, in supercritical carbon dioxide were determined at temperatures from (308 to 3 18) K in the pressure range of (8.8 to 15.6) MPa. The Solubilities were determined both in the absence of cosolvents and in the presence of two cosolvents, methanol and acetone. The solubilities (in the absence of cosolvents) in mole fraction of 4-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol at 308 K were in the range of (0.0113 to 0.0215), (0.0312 to 0.0645), and (0.008 to 0.0173), respectively. The Solubilities of the chlorophenols followed the order 2,4-dichlorophenol & 4-chlorophenol & phenol & 2,4,6-trichlorophenol & pentachlorophenol. The solubility data were correlated with the Charstil model and with the Mendez-Santiago and Teja model. The overall deviation between the experimental data and the correlated results Was less than 6 % in averaged absolute relative deviation (AARD) for both of the models.
