Solubilities and saturated densities of carbon dioxide in pentadecane, hexadecane, and an equimolar mixture
of pentadecane + hexadecane were measured at 313.15 K without analysis of the phase compositions. The
measured solubilities and saturated liquid densities were correlated with an equation of state.
Introduction
In the conventional experimental methods for phase
equilibria,both vapor and liquid compositionsare analytically
determined after attainment of the equilibrium state.
A new experimental method for measuring binary vaporliquid equilibria at high pressures was presented previously
(I), based on mass balance and the phase rule, almost similar
to that of Hall et al. (2). An apparatus with a variable-volume
cell was built previously (1);the saturated densities and vaporliquid equilibria were measured for the carbon dioxide +
acetone system at 298.15 K (I).
A new experimental method for measuring the solubility
of a gas in a liquid was proposed in the previous study (3),
based on mass balance; the saturated densities and the gas
solubilities of carbon dioxide in tridecane, tetradecane, and
their equimolar mixture at 313.15 K were measured (3).The
experimental method does not require any analysis of the
phase compositions, and the densities of each phase can be
measured with density meters.
In the present study, the solubilitiesand saturated densities
of carbon dioxide in pentadecane, hexadecane, and an
equimolar mixture of pentadecane + hexadecane were
measured at 313.15 K. The experimental values obtained
were correlated with the equation of state previously proposed
(3-6).
Experimental Section
The experimental method previously proposed requires a
high-pressure cell equipped with two density meters (I,3).
This method is based on mass balance (3).
Assuming that the liquid component is nonvolatile, the
mass fraction of gas solubility, W A , can be obtained by
