Critical-mixture curves for 13 CO2-solvent binary mixtures were estimated using the peak-shape method. Mixture critical points were determined within 1 degrees C and 1 atm. The results for CO2-toluene and CO2-methanol were compared to previously reported data from high-pressure view cell studies. No more than a 3% difference was observed in the data generated by the two different techniques. A few abnormalities encountered while using the peak-shape method are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
