Abstract

The phase behavior of PDMS(OH)-CO2 binary mixtures was investigated. Two different molecular weight PDMS(OH) were utilized and the demixing pressures were determined at three temperatures for a wide composition range. Both of these polymers were found to form miscible mixtures with CO2 at all compositions at pressures lower than 31 MPa in the temperature range 313.2-333.2 K. Depending on the composition of the binary mixtures, two types of phase separation was observed during depressurization; the bubble point and the cloud point. In addition, at specific weight fractions a color change was also observed which was attributed to the mixture critical point. The demixing pressures were observed to increase with temperature and decrease with increasing polymer weight fraction. In addition, higher demixing pressures were obtained for the higher molecular weight polymer mixtures. The bubble point data were modeled by using Sanchez-Lacombe equation of state (SLEoS) and the binary interaction parameters were regressed at the studied temperatures. It was observed that the binary interaction parameters decreased with increasing temperature.
