Solubilities of Carbon Dioxide in Heavy Hydrocarbons.

Abstract

Gas solubllitles at ambient pressures have been measured for COP In n-hexadecane, n-elcosane, squalane, 1-methylnaphthalene, and quinoline over a temperature range from 298.6 to 330.2 K. The experimental data are analyzed by uslng the polymer solution theory of Flory to compare phase equlllbrlum behavlor for paraffinic vs. aromatic solvents.
