An apparatus for high-pressure VLE measurements using a static mixer. Results for (CO2+limonene+citral) and (CO2+limonene+linalool)

A new flow apparatus for high-pressure vapour–liquid equilibrium measurements was assembled. Its main feature is the use of a static mixer followed by a cyclone separator. Phase equilibrium ratios were determined, at 323.2 K and at pressures up to the vicinity of the mixture critical pressure, for the following systems: carbon dioxide+limonene, carbon dioxide+citral, carbon dioxide+linalool, carbon dioxide+limonene+citral and carbon dioxide+limonene+linalool. The results compare well with available literature data.
