The infinite diffusion coefficients of benzene

toluene

naphthalene

pyridine and p-nitroaniline in ethanol were measured by Taylor dispersion technique under 313—473 K and 0—16 MPa.The measurement accuracy of the established apparatus was first checked.The measured diffusion coefficient of the five organic solutes in ethanol did not change with pressure at low temperature

but it was significantly reduced with pressure increase when the temperature is higher than 373 K.Of the correlations available for polar solvents

the modified Wilke-Chang equation

the Yang-Zhang equation as well as the He-Yu equation were used to calculate the infinite diffusion coefficient. At low temperature

the three equations all agreed well with experimental results for both polar and non-polar solutes.However

the prediction accuracy was decreased sharply when the temperature was higher than 373 K

where the association factor of the solvent was varied with temperature as well as pressure.
