Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO{sub 2}) is used to extract two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), anthracene and pyrene, from a model soil at conditions ranging from 35 to 55{degrees}C and 7.79 to 24.13 MPa. Equilibrium partition coefficients and Freundlich isotherm constants are determined for the two PAHs on white quartz sand and the model soil. The effect on equilibrium of additional water in the soil phase is also examined.
