Abstract: | The co-solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide of 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, or 1-decanol in the presence of 2-ethylhexanoic acid in the pressure range of 100–180 bar and at 313 or 323 K was measured. The solubility of these alcohols in the presence of 2-ethylhexanoic acid is lower than in the systems alcohol + CO2 and remains nearly constant in the pressure range of 120–180 bar, with the exception of 1-decanol. The lower selectivities in the ternary systems are explained by strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding between alcohol molecules and 2-ethylhexanoic acid molecules. The FT-IR spectra of mixtures of alcohols and 2-ethylhexanoic acid at a 1:1 mole ratio in the liquid CCl4 confirmed this conclusion. |
