Measurement and Correlation of Ibuprofen in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Using Stryjek and Vera EOS

Ibuprofen solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide was measured using a dynamic apparatus at a pressure between 80 and 140 bars at three different temperatures, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15 K. The mole fraction of Ibuprofen in fluid phase was in the range of 0.015 × 10^-3 - 3.261 × 10^-3 at the mentioned operational condition. Modified Mendez-Santiago and Teja equation were used to check the consistency of the experimental data. Results were correlated using the Stryjek and Vera equation of state with the van der Waals 1-parameter (vdW1) and 2-parameters (vdW2) mixing and combining rules. Interaction parameters along with the percentage of the average absolute relative deviation (%AARD) were displayed. Also, the Lydersen group contribution methods were used for predicting the physicochemical and critical properties of the Ibuprofen.
