Ibuprofen solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide was measured using a dynamic
apparatus at a pressure between 80 and 140 bars at three different temperatures,
308.15, 313.15 and 318.15 K. The mole fraction of Ibuprofen in fluid phase was in the
range of 0.015 × 10-3 - 3.261 × 10-3 at the mentioned operational condition. Modified
Mendez-Santiago and Teja equation were used to check the consistency of the
experimental data. Results were correlated using the Stryjek and Vera equation of state
with the van der Waals 1-parameter (vdW1) and 2-parameters (vdW2) mixing and
combining rules. Interaction parameters along with the percentage of the average
absolute relative deviation (%AARD) were displayed. Also, the Lydersen group
contribution methods were used for predicting the physicochemical and critical
properties of the Ibuprofen.

1- Introduction
Solubility data are essential for an accurate promoting high mass transfer, at least an design of the operational conditions and to calculate the concentration of supercritical liquids. In other words, a small change of solution, in order to investigate the feasibility of SCF based processes. Supercritical fluids temperature) gives rise to a large change in a are useful in a variety of applications as food supercritical fluid density, in spite of a dense and pharmaceutical industries. Supercritical liquid character. Therefore, the solvent fluids have been established as powerful properties of a fluid change significantly, solvents for many non volatile and thermal supercritical area has gas-like diffusivity, ∗ Corresponding author: Elyze_125@hotmail.com Measurement and Correlation of Ibuprofen in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Using Stryjek and Vera EOS Based on the supercritical fluids 2.2- Solubility measurements

dynamic technique for the pressure between To predict the solubility of a solute in supercritical fluids, EOS models are widely used. Cubic EOSs are the simplest equations capable of predicting and representing fluid phase equilibrium. Mixing rules are necessary when equations of state are applied to calculate the fluid mixtures thermodynamic properties. Although cubic EOS’s are the simplest mathematical models, capable of predicting fluid phase equilibrium, semi-empirical models are often utilized because of their relative ease of application Figure 1.

Ibuprofen in SC carbon dioxide as a function mathematical models using Stryjek and Vera of absolute temperature and solvent density, we used the semi-empirical Mendez-Santiago supercritical carbon dioxide. Solubility values were measured in a 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15K and 80-120 pressure range. The experimental data correlate well with the SV EOS model with an average absolute relative T ln yP = A + Bρ + CT deviation (AARD%) of 10–23% along with the vdW1 mixing rule and 6-14% along with values are presented in Table 5 in the three results than vdW1, which is probably due to The experimental results were plotted in the the two available adjustable parameters, form of T ln y P − CT against the supercritical which can offer a higher flexibility to the CO2 density, to test the M-S-T model self- consistency (Fig. 4). The linear behavior solubility data. These data are also well shown in Fig. 4 confirms that the measured correlated by the semi-empirical model of solid solubility data are consistent at all modified Mendez–Santiago–Teja with an AARD% of 9–11%.
