Table 2 The experimental data of KTZ solubility in SC-CO2 based on distinct conditions (The experimental standard deviation and the experimental standard deviation of the mean (SD) were obtained by \(S({y_k}) = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {{{({y_j} - \bar y)}^2}} }}{n - 1}} \) and \(SD(\bar y) = \frac{{S({y_k})}}{\sqrt n }\) respectively.

  1. n is the number of times each experimental data was measured (n = 3, in this work). Expanded uncertainty is U = k* ucombined and the relative combined standard uncertainty is defined as ucombined / y = \(\sqrt {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^N {{{({P_i}{\kern 1pt} u({x_i})/{x_i})}^2}} } \) in which u(xi)/xi is the relative standard uncertainty of each input estimate (xi) and Pi is known positive or negative number having negligible uncertainties. y2 and S are mole fraction of solute in binary system and solubility of solute in SC-CO2, respectively.
  2. aStandard uncertainty u are u(T) = 0.1 K; u(p) = 1 bar. Also, the relative standard uncertainties are obtained below 0.05 for mole fractions and solubilities. The value of the coverage factor k = 2 was chosen on the basis of the level of confidence of approximately 95 percent.
  3. bData from the Span–Wagner equation of state62.
