International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 56, 55-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2016.11.003

The p-T phase diagrams of two ternary systems (CO2 + Ar + N2 and CO2 + Ar + H2) have been measured at temperatures between 268 and 303 K using a fibre-optic phase equilibrium analyser. CO2, which is the major component, has a mole fraction ranging fr...
