Abstract

Critical curves of CO2-C2H4 and CO2-C2H4 mixtures are investigated using a new fluctuation equation of state. Particular attention is paid to the behavior of thermodynamic sensitives in the vicinity of the critical azeotropic points, at which the derivative of the molar volume with respect to the composition, which has no special features in the vicinity of the critical points of the pure components, becomes zero. Reliable agreement between the results of describing the critical curves of the mixtures and the known (including volumetric measurements) experiment is obtained. Possible intensification of supercritical extraction in using the CO2-C2H6 mixture in the vicinity of the azeotropic point is predicted.
