Measurements of hydrogen solubility in nitrobenzene/aniline mixtures

Abstract

Measurements of hydrogen solubility in various nitrobenzene-aniline mixtures were conducted in an autoclave reactor with a stirrer and control of temperature. The solubility of hydrogen was measured at 7 different values of temperature (30 °C, 40 °C, 50 °C, 90 °C, 130 °C, 170 °C, 210 °C, respectively), 3 values of stirrer rotation speed (1200 rpm, 1600 rpm, 2000 rpm, respectively) and a range of pressure of 20 . 30 bar. Moreover, pure aniline, pure nitrobenzene and their mixtures with different concentrations were used. In the next step, values of Henry's constant were calculated. Based on experimental data a dependence of Henryfs constant on temperature for pure aniline and pure nitrobenzene was proposed. Additionally, for each temperature correlations between Henry's constant and anilinefs concentration in mixture of nitrobenzene-aniline were found.
