An experimental investigation on the solubility of CO2 in aqueous solutions of phenol

New experimental results are reported for the solubility of carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions of phenol and for the density of the corresponding liquid solvent mixtures at about (314, 354, and 395) K at pressures between about 0.2 MPa and 9.7 MPa. The experimental results are evaluated to determine Henry's constants for carbon dioxide (on the molality scale) and the partial molar volume of carbon dioxide at infinite dilution in such solutions at the same temperatures. Furthermore, correlations are presented that describe the new gas solubility data almost within experimental uncertainty.
