In a phase envelope, an adequate description of the critical point is of high importance. It identifies the conditions where the bubble and dew curves meet, and where the nature of the single phase region outside the phase envelope changes. The knowledge of the mixture critical point is relevant to preventing production and transport problems, as well as to optimizing near-critical and supercritical processes. A modified cubic plus association (CPA) model was recently shown to accurately describe the vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) critical temperatures and pressures of pure compounds. The model is usually fitted to pure component data between 0.45Tr and 0.85Tr, while forcing the correct description of both Tc and Pc. Here, the performance of the model is evaluated for mixtures. Interaction parameters are regressed from VLE/liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data at lower temperatures. Accurate results, for binary and ternary mixtures, were obtained. These results concern mainly mixtures containing, water, al...
