Vapor-liquid equilibria of carbon dioxide and nonionic surfactant system at elevated pressures

Aqueous solutions of the polyoxyethylene nonionic amphiphiles have been extensively investigated at atmospheric pressure, but only a few data of nonionic amphiphile - carbon dioxide system are available at elevated pressures. Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium data for the binary ethylene glycol propyl ether (C3E1) - carbon dioxide system at 313.15 K, 323.15 K were measured at elevated pressures. We used two-phase circulating type equipment with a view cell. Modeling of the experimental data has been performed using the Peng-Robinson equation of state, statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) and Sanchez-Lacombe equation of state.
