Supercritical fluid extraction has been proven as an efficient separation method for some specific industrial applications. The knowledge of the phase behavior of supercritical systems plays an important role in the process design. High pressure vapor-liquid phase equilibrium compositions were measured for the binary systems of carbon dioxide + 2-methyl-1-pentanol, carbon dioxide + 1-octanol, and carbon dioxide + 1-decanol over a temperature range between 348.15 and 453.15 K. In addition to the new data, a variety of supercritical fluid systems was used to test the validity of the Peng-Robinson and Patel-Teja equations of state accompanied by several types of mixing rules. In general, the Peng-Robinson equation incorporated with the cubic mixing rule yielded the best representation.
