AP-103 – Solubilities of Substituted Phenols in Supercritical Fluid Carbon Dioxide

Substituted phenols are an important class of compounds having widespread use (germicides, disinfectants, ingredients in fuel, etc.).  In this work, the solubilities of selected substituted phenols (2,5-dimethylphenol, 2,4,6-trimethylphenol,2,3,5-trimethylphenol, 4-phenylphenol, 4-tertbutylphenol) in binary (single solute + SCF CO2) and ternary (two solutes + SCF CO2) systems were investigated using a SFT Phase Monitor.
