Near-Critical Behavior of Mutual Diffusion Coefficients for Five Solutes in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

The Taylor−Aris dispersion technique was employed to measure the binary diffusion coefficients of five solid solutes (phenanthrene, biphenyl, benzoic acid, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, and phenol) in supercritical carbon dioxide within the pressure range from 75 to 170 bar at 308.2 K. Measurements were made at very dilute concentrations, in the vicinity of the pure CO2 critical point and also near the solid/supercritical fluid lower critical end point....
