Hello,
Please let me know that is solubility data of compound in supercritical phase is sufficient to model the gas extraction process or liquid phase composition (CO2 solubility in compound) is also needed? I can imagine that more the information the better, but, my question is just related to availability of only supercritical phase data.
Thanks
Supercritical process modeling only with equilibrium data may be consulted in the following paper,

However this model gives information of the extraction limits. If you need information for process simulation or design you need a mass transfer model which requires mass transfer and equilibrium properties. Mass transfer models of supercritical fluid extraction process may be consulted in the following papers,
Reverchon, E. and Marrone, C. (1997). Supercritical extraction of clove bud essential oil: isolation and mathematical modeling. Chemical Engineering Science, 52(20), 3421-3428.

The solubility data that you requested are part of the chemical engineering software called HYSYS. You can download a trial version of this software from Aspen Technologies Corporation.

I use this software package in the chemical engineering process design course that I teach at Yale University.

Hope this information helps answer your question.
