Question: Carbon dioxide at high pressure is used to separate various compounds in citrus oil. The mole fraction of CO, in the liquid (x) and vapour
Carbon dioxide at high pressure is used to separate various compounds in citrus oil. The mole fraction of CO, in the liquid (x) and vapour (y) at 323.2 K is given below for a variety of pressures (Y. Iwai, T. Morotomi, K.
Sakamoto, Y. Koga, and Y. Arai,J. Chem. Eng. Data 41,951 (1996)).
