Experimental Determination of the Solubilities of Ethane in Selected N-paraffin Solvents
Abstract
An existing solubility apparatus was modified for the continuation of study on binary mixtures. The systems run for this study include carbon dioxide in benzene, and ethane in n-hexane, n-eicosane, n-hexatriacontane, and ntetratetracontane at temperatures ranging from 40 C to 150 C and pressures up to 1800 psi. The interaction parameters in the Soave and Peng-Robinson equations of state were regressed from the solubility data and comparisons were made with previous investigators. The data was also added to a current data base of ethane + paraffins and used to determine interaction parameters. The significance of these results are discussed.
