The paper studies the possibility of using reparametrized Chrastil’s equations to calculate the solubility of polar organic compounds in pure and cosolvent-modified supercritical carbon dioxide based on molecular dynamics simulation. Molecular dynamics simulation of solutions ortho-, meta- and para-hydroxybenzoic acids in pure and methanol­modified (0.035 mole fraction of methanol) supercritical carbon dioxide at temperatures 318, 328, 338 and 348 K and densities 600, 700 and 800 kg/m3 has been carried out. The solubility of the acids in the supercritical fluids was calculated based on the simulation data by Chrastil’s equation. It is shown that the solubility evaluated using this calculation procedure is quite close to the experimental solubility values known from the literature.
