Abstract: Vapor-liquid phase equilibrium data of tertpentanol in carbon dioxide were measured at temperatures of 313.4, 323.4, 333.5 and 343.5 K and in the pressure range of 4.56―11.44 MPa. The phase equilibium apparatus used in the work was a variable-volume high-pressure cell. The experimental data were reasonably correlated with Peng-Robinson equation of state(PR-EOS) together with van der Waals-2 two-parameter mixing rules. Henry’s Law constants and partial molar volumes of CO2 at infinite dilution were estimated with Krichevsky-Kasarnovsky equation, and Henry’s Law constants increase with increasing temperature, however, partial molar volumes of CO2 at infinite dilution are negative whose magnitudes decrease with temperature. Partial molar volumes of CO2 and tertpentanol in liquid phase at equilibrium were calculated.
