The solubilities of hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid) and octadecanoic acid (stearic acid) in supercritical carbon dioxide without cosolvents and with two cosolvents, namely, ethanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol, were determined at (308 and 318) K at pressures varying from (12.8 to 22.6) MPa. The solubility data, in both the absence and presence of cosolvents, were correlated by a model proposed by Mendez-Santiago and Teja. © 2008 American Chemical Society.
