The feasibility of deterpenating orange peel oil with supercritical CO 2 depends on relevant vapor−liquid equilibrium data because the selectivity of this solvent for limonene and linalool (the two key components of the oil) is of crucial importance. In this work the solubility data for the CO 2 + limonene + linalool ternary system were measured at (318.2 and 328.2) K. The range of pressures covered was from (70 to 110) bar. Two different mixtures of limonene + linalool were used: a 40 mass % limonene + 60 mass % linalool mixture and a 60 mass % limonene + 40 mass % linalool mixture. To correlate the obtained results, two equations of state were successfully used (Peng−Robinson (PR) and Soave−Redlich−Kwong (SRK)).
