The incentive of this work is to develop methods and tools for the selection of solvents for the physical separation of the main components of natural gas, by means of the combination of molecular simulation, experiments and modeling methods. The main objective is to establish the methodology to use a group contribution equation of state for molecules containing new chemical groups, by means of experimental measurements and thermodynamic modeling of the available data. Phosphonate based molecules like diethyl methylphosphonate (DEMP) were used in this study.
