For the development and enhancement of supercritical applications, it is crucial to know the solubility of the considered compound in the supercritical fluid (SCF) in order to determine the conditions to achieve the best outcome. Many models have been developed to calculate supercritical solubility behavior and most can be either a semi empirical relationship or based on an equation of state. The Mendez-Santiago and Teja (MST) model is one of the most semiempirical models used. In this work, a review of the (MST) model from an accuracy and ability viewpoint is accomplished to give concise discussion and so to the proposition of a modification.
