| Favipiravir is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the treatment of COVID-19 in the early stages of the
disease. In this work, the solubility of favipiravir was measured in supercritical CO2 at temperatures ranging from
308 to 338 K and pressures ranging from 12 to 30 MPa. The mole fraction solubility of favipiravir was in the
range of 3.0 × 10-6 to 9.05 × 10-4. The solubility data were correlated with three types of methods including; (a)
density-based models (Chrastil, Garlapati and Madras, Sparks et al., Sodeifan et al., K-J and Keshmiri et al.), (b)
Equations of states SRK with quadratic mixing rules) and (c) expanded liquid theory (modifed Wilson model).
According to the results, modifed Wilson and K-J models are generally capable of providing good correlation of
solubility. Finally, the approximate values of total (ΔHtotal), vaporization (ΔHvap), and solvation (ΔHsol) enthalpies
were computed. |
