Estimation of Solubility of Carbon Dioxide in Polar Solvents

Abstract

The solubility of CO2 in polar solvents is poorly predicted by all estimation methods that use only properties of the pure components. It is thought that this is because CO2 molecules, although they do not have a permanent dipole moment, behave like electrical multipoles as a consequence of their strongly polar bonds. An equation, proposed in a previous paper, for estimating the activity coefficient of a nonpolar gas dissolved in a polar liquid is modified by adding a term containing the quadrupole moment of the gas molecule. Errors in estimating gas solubilities on that basis are less than 20%, except for the solvents in which specific interactions (e.g., acid–base interactions) are present.
