The first step was to adjust the molecular parameters for the pure solvents. For n-<br />

octane the molecular parameters m, σ <strong>and</strong> ε had already been adjusted in a previous work<br />

(Pàmies <strong>and</strong> Vega, 1998). The parameters for decalin, methylcyclohexane, benzene <strong>and</strong><br />

toluene where adjusted using experimental density <strong>and</strong> vapour pressure data taken from<br />

DIPPR, 1998. A quadrupole moment was included in both benzene <strong>and</strong> toluene <strong>and</strong> it was<br />

equal to the one previously presented for perfluorobenzene <strong>and</strong> perfluorotoluene. The<br />

adjusted parameters are presented in Table III.10.<br />

Relating the solubility of carbon dioxide in benzene <strong>and</strong> toluene, the first approach<br />

was to calculate the phase diagrams without using any adjusted binary parameters as done<br />
