Infinite-dilution binary diffusion coefficient, partition ratio, and partial molar volume for ubiquinone CoQ10 in supercritical carbon dioxide
Infinite-dilution binary diffusion coefficient D-12 and partition ratio k for ubiquinone CoQ10 in carbon dioxide were measured by a tracer response technique with a poly(ethylene glycol)-coated capillary column at temperatures from 308.15 to 333.15 K and pressures from 8.5 to 30 MPa. D12 and k values were simultaneously determined from a measured response curve by the curve-fitting method. The fitting error between measured and calculated response curves increased with decreasing pressure, as had been the case in our previous studies on various solutes in supercritical CO2 by the Taylor dispersion method. The D12 values were correlated with temperature and CO2 viscosity and the k values with temperature and CO2 density. Moreover, partial molar volumes of CoQ10 in supercritical CO2 were obtained from the k values.
