The solubility of CO2 in triethylene glycol monomethyl ether

The solubility of CO₂ in triethylene glycol monomethyl ether (TEGMME) has been measured at 40, 70 and 100°C at pressures up to 8.8 MPa. The results were correlated with the Peng-Robinson (1976) equation of state. The interaction parameters and Henry's constants were derived.     

Solubility of H2S in n-hexadecane at elevated pressure

The solubility of H₂S in n-hexadecane has been determined at 50, 100 and 150°C at pressures up to 7.4 MPa. The results were correlated with the Peng-Robinson (1976) equation of state and Henry's constants were derived for comparison with low pressure data in the literature.     

Solubilities and diffusivities of N2O and CO2 in aqueous sulfolane solutions

The solubilities of N₂O and CO₂ in aqueous sulfolane solutions and pure sulfolane solvent, and the diffusivities of N₂O in aqueous sulfolane solutions were measured and correlated over the temperature range from 20° to 85°C; also, the data for density and viscosity that were needed in this experimental work were measured. This experiment revealed that the parameter of N₂O analogy method depends not only on the temperature, but also on the character of the solvent. Therefore, different solvents possess different analogy parameters. Only for dilute aqueous solutions can the parameter be replaced by the analogy parameter of water. The results also proved that the sum of volume fractions contribution is a simple method to estimate the solubility in aqueous sulfolane solutions over the whole range of the concentrations and experimental temperatures, with an average deviation of less than 4·0%.     

Solubility measurements of N2 and CO2 in polypropylene and ethene/octene copolymer

In this set of experiments a magnetic suspension balance (MSB) was employed to measure the apparent solubilities of N₂ and CO₂ in polypropylene (PP) and ethene/octene copolymer melts, while the swollen volume predicted by the Sanchez–Lacombe (SL) equation of state (EOS) was used to account for the buoyancy effect. The swollen volume of the polymer/gas mixture, as well as the gas solubilities for both PP and the ethene/octene copolymer, are discussed. It was observed that the branched molecular structure limited the molecular movement, and therefore the volume swelling of the polymer/gas mixture. In a similar context, the solubility of both N₂ and CO₂ were less in the branched polymer (ethene/octene copolymer) than in the linear PP. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Separation of N2O and CO2 using Room-Temperature Ionic Liquid [bmim][Ac]

We have developed a ternary equation of state (EOS) model for the N₂O/CO₂/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([bmim][Ac]) system in order to understand the separation of N₂O and CO₂ using room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). The present model is based on a generic RK (Redlich-Kwong) EOS, with empirical interaction parameters for each binary system. The interaction parameters have been determined using our measured VLE (vapor-liquid-equilibrium) data for N₂O/[bmim][Ac] and literature data for CO₂/[bmim][Ac] and N₂O/CO₂. The binary EOS model for the N₂O/[bmim][Ac] system correctly predicted the liquid-liquid phase separation found in VLLE experiments. The validity of the ternary EOS model has been checked by conducting VLE experiments for the N₂O/CO₂/[bmim][Ac] system over a temperature range from 296 to 313 K. With this EOS model, solubility (VLE) behavior has been calculated for various (T, P, and feed compositions) conditions. Over a range of N₂O/CO₂ feed ratios, the N₂O/CO₂ gas selectivity [α _{N 2 O/CO 2}  = (y _{N 2 O} /x _{N 2 O} )/(y _{CO 2} /x _{CO 2} )] increases by at least 5 orders of magnitude when adding [bmim][Ac] (α = 1 × 10² to 1 × 10⁷), compared with the absence of the ionic liquid (α = 0.96 to 0.98). The addition of [bmim][Ac] may provide a practical means of separating CO₂ and N₂O.

Solubility of propane in N-formyl morpholine

N-formyl morpholine (NFM) is a solvent that has been used to separate acid gases from gas streams. An advantage of NFM is the high solubility of acid gases compared with the low solubility of light hydrocarbons. The solubility of the light hydrocarbons in NFM is important, as the hydrocarbons constitute a loss to the process, and result in hydrocarbon emissions to the atmosphere. However, there are only a few experimental data sets dealing with the solubility of hydrocarbons in NFM. To provide data to be used in the design of plants in the natural gas processing industry, the solubility of propane (C₃H₈) in NFM was measured at 298.15, 313.15, and 343.15 K at pressures up to 20.15 MPa. The Peng-Robinson equation of state was employed to correlate the experimental data and to obtain binary interaction parameters. The binary interaction parameters were used to obtain the parameters of the Krichevsky-Ilinskaya equation and Henry's law constants for propane were calculated. Henry's law constants for propane were compared with those of hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, methane, and ethane in NFM.

The solubility data obtained are compared with those of ethane in other physical solvents. The results were correlated with the Peng-Robinson (1976) equation of state and the interaction parameters were obtained. Henry's constants were also determined.     

Solubility of CO2 in three cellulose-dissolving ionic liquids

The solubility of CO₂ in three cellulose-dissolving ionic liquids (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethylphosphate, [Emim][DEP], 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [Amim][Cl], and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [Bmim][Cl]) at temperatures within 298 and 356 K and pressures up to 6.5 MPa was determined using a Van Ness-type apparatus (static isochoric). It was demonstrated that this device can work in isothermal and isoplethal modes, being the latter faster and more precise. Moreover, it was possible to determine CO₂ solubilities in metastable liquid [Bmim][Cl]. Experimental data were modeled using the Extended Henry's law correlation and the group contribution equation of state. New parameters for the binary interaction of CO₂ with ionic liquid groups were calculated.

The results were correlated with the Peng-Robinson (1976) equation of state and the interaction parameters were obtained. Henry's constants were also determined.     

High pressure physical solubility of carbon dioxide (CO2) in mixed polyethylene glycol dimethyl ethers (Genosorb 1753)

Solubility of carbon dioxide in a mixture of polyethylene glycol dimethyl ethers (Genosorb 1753) was determined at 298.15, 313.15, 323.15 and 333.15 K at pressures up to 7940 kPa.

Fundam. 15, 59–64 1976) equation of state, and the interaction parameters are reported. Data at 323.15 K were predicted.

二氧化碳在CH4+CO2+N2/C2H6三元系中的结霜温度计算

含CO₂的天然气体系在历经低温工艺时,由于CO₂的三相点温度(216.55 K)较高,容易凝华结霜产生固体CO₂,因而有必要对CO₂在天然气中的结霜温度进行计算。根据气固相平衡原理,分别采用道尔顿分压定律、PR状态方程对CO₂在CH₄-CO₂-N₂和CH₄-CO₂-C₂H₆三元系中的结霜温度进行了计算。此外,还采用HYSYS软件对CO₂的结霜温度做了相应的计算。将3种方法的计算结果和实验结果进行了比较,结果表明3种方法在预测三元系中CO₂的结霜温度时,都具有良好的精度。其中,PR状态方程法和HYSYS法的精度略高于道尔顿分压定律法;道尔顿分压定律法虽精度最低,但计算最简单,且也能获得满意的精度,可做工程快速估算使用。     

Fluid‐phase coexistence for the oxidation of CO2 expanded cyclohexane: Experiment,molecular simulation,and COSMO‐SAC

The gas solubility of pure oxygen and of pure carbon dioxide as well as of their gaseous mixture are measured in the ternary liquid mixture cyclohexane + cyclohexanone + cyclohexanol at 313.6 K with a high‐pressure view‐cell technique using the synthetic method. The new experimental data are used to assess the capability of molecular simulation and conductor‐like screening model (COSMO)‐SAC to predict multicomponent fluid‐phase coexistence behavior. These methods are also compared systematically on the basis of experimental binary fluid‐phase coexistence data. In that comparison also the Peng–Robinson (PR) equation of state is included as a reference. Molecular simulation and COSMO‐SAC yield good results and are found to be far superior to the PR equation of state both in predictive and in adjusted mode. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 59: 2236–2250, 2013

Supercritical fluid extraction of fungal oil using CO2, N2O,CHF3 and SF6

The extraction of oil from fungi (Mortierella ramanniana var.angulispora) was studied using carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrous oxide (N₂O), trifluoromethane (CHF₃) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) under supercritical conditions. The oil solubility was highest in SC-N₂O followed by SC-CO₂, while both SC-CHF₃ and SC-SF₆ showed poorer solvent power. The recorded oil solubilities at 333 K and 24.5 MPa were 2.3 wt% in N₂O, 0.48 wt% in CO₂, 0.0099 wt% in CHF₃ and 0.0012 wt% in SF₆. The oil solubilities in SC-N₂O and SC-CO₂ were measured over the pressure range 15.7–29.4 MPa and at temperatures ranging from 313–353 K. N₂O always showed greater solvent power than did CO₂ at the same temperature and pressure. The solvent power of a supercritical fluid increases with density at a given temperature, and increases with temperature at constant density. The change in neutral lipid composition of the extracted oil with the extraction ratio was measured. Free fatty acids or diglycerides were extracted more easily than triglycerides or sterol esters. The change in fatty acid composition was also measured. The proportion of γ-linolenic acid in the extract remained constant throughout the extraction.
