Abstract
The phase behavior of the multicomponent system CO₂ + (butylcyclohexane + toluene + eicosane) was experimentally investigated to improve the understanding of fluid-fluid and fluid-solid equilibria under high-pressure conditions. Phase transitions were observed using a high-pressure PVT equilibrium cell across a CO₂ global composition range from 20.10 mol % to 94.90 mol %, within a temperature range of 286 K–333 K and pressures up to 22.30 MPa. The study identified different phase equilibria, including liquid-liquid (LL), liquid-liquid-solid (LLS), liquid-solid (LS), liquid-liquid-vapor (LLV), and liquid-vapor (LV) equilibria. These transitions were measured through constant composition expansion (CCE) experiments using a visual synthetic static method. The results emphasize the complexity introduced by multicomponent interactions, showing how long-chain paraffins and cyclic hydrocarbons influence CO₂ solubility in aromatic hydrocarbons. Overall, the findings provide important insights into phase behavior, relevant for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), and contribute to improving predictive thermodynamic models.
期刊介绍:
Fluid Phase Equilibria publishes high-quality papers dealing with experimental, theoretical, and applied research related to equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, solids, and interfaces. Subjects of interest include physical/phase and chemical equilibria; equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermophysical properties; fundamental thermodynamic relations; and stability. The systems central to the journal include pure substances and mixtures of organic and inorganic materials, including polymers, biochemicals, and surfactants with sufficient characterization of composition and purity for the results to be reproduced. Alloys are of interest only when thermodynamic studies are included, purely material studies will not be considered. In all cases, authors are expected to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results.
Experimental research can include measurements under all conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition, including critical and supercritical. Measurements are to be associated with systems and conditions of fundamental or applied interest, and may not be only a collection of routine data, such as physical property or solubility measurements at limited pressures and temperatures close to ambient, or surfactant studies focussed strictly on micellisation or micelle structure. Papers reporting common data must be accompanied by new physical insights and/or contemporary or new theory or techniques.
