High pressure phase behavior of carbon dioxide + nitrobenzene binary system at 298.15, 310.45 and 322.75 K

The phase behavior of the carbon dioxide + nitrobenzene binary system has been studied in a high-pressure variable-volume view cell using an analytical method. The phase boundaries were measured at temperatures of 298.15, 310.45 and 322.75 K under pressures between 2.76 and 12.83 MPa, and it was found that three-phase equilibria existed over a temperature range from 303.60 to 313.65 K. The experimental data could be correlated with the Peng–Robinson equation of state (PR EoS) and two binary parameters. The phase behavior of the carbon dioxide + nitrobenzene system appears to belong to Type-V according to the classification of van Konynenburg and Scott.
