A new method was developed to measure P–V–T–x properties of the CO2–H2O system up to 513.15 K and 120 MPa.
The data partially fill the current density/molar volume data gap.
The apparent molar volume of CO2 in water (VΦ,CO2) shows obvious negative dependence on pressure beyond 298.15 K.
The pivoting temperature (where ρCO2–H2O = ρH2O) monotonously increases from 489 K at 30 MPa to 575 K at 120 MPa.
A revised VΦ,CO2 model for dilute CO2–H2O systems was proposed.
