Solubility of Methane, Ethane, and Propane in Pure Water Using New Binary Interaction Parameters

Iranian Journal of Oil and Gas Science and Technology, 2015

Solubility of hydrocarbons in water is important du e to ecological concerns and new restrictions on the existence of organic pollutants in water stream s. Also, the creation of a thermodynamic model has required an advanced study of the phase equilibrium between water (as a basis for the widest spread muds and amines) and gas hydrocarbon phases in wide temperature and pressure ranges. Therefore, it is of great interest to develop semi-empirical corr elations, charts, or thermodynamic models for estimating the solubility of hydrocarbons in liquid water. In this work, a thermodynamic model based on Mathias modification of Sova-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) equation of state is suggested using classical mixing rules with new binary interaction parameters which were used for two-component systems of hydrocarbons and water. Finally, the model results and their deviations in comparison with the experimental data are presented; these deviations w ere equal to 5.27, 6.06, and 4.1% for methane, ethan...

Vapour-Liquid Equilibria of Ethane and Ethanethiol: Experiments and Modelling

Journal of Natural Gas Engineering, 2019

This work reports high-quality isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium data for ethane + ethanethiol (or ethyl mercaptan) at 303 K, 323 K and 343 K and pressures up to 6.25 MPa. A sapphire-tube equilibrium cell with an online micro sampler and GC-TCD are employed to measure equilibrium phase concentrations at specific temperatures and pressures. Peng Robinson equation of state with classical alpha function is found adequate for data treatment and thermodynamic modelling.

Gas solubility measurement and modeling for methane–water and methane–ethane– n-butane–water systems at low temperature conditions

Fluid Phase Equilibria, 2004

In this communication, experimental measurements and thermodynamic modeling of solubilities of methane and a hydrocarbon gas mixture (94% methane + 4% ethane + 2% n-butane) in water at low temperature conditions are reported. Methane solubility measurements have been conducted at a temperature range of 275.11-313.11 K and pressures up to 18 MPa. The solubility of the individual components in the gas mixture was measured from 278.14 to 313.12 K and pressures up to 14.407 MPa. A static-analytic apparatus, taking advantage of a pneumatic capillary sampler is used for fluid sampling. The Valderrama modification of the Patel-Teja equation of state combining with non-density dependent mixing rules were used for modeling gas solubilities in water. The data generated in this work are compared with the literature data and the predictions of the thermodynamic model, demonstrating the reliability of the techniques used in this work.

Solubility measurement and modeling for the system propane-water from 277.62 to 368.16 K

Fluid phase …, 2004

In this communication, a total of 61 new experimental data on the solubility of propane in water are reported over a wide temperature range (i.e., 277.62-368.16 K) up to 3.915 MPa (i.e., liquid water-vapor region). A static-analytic apparatus taking advantage of a pneumatic capillary sampler is used for fluid sampling. The Valderrama modification of the Patel-Teja equation of state combining with non-density dependent mixing rules is used for modeling vapor-liquid equilibrium. The new solubility data generated in this work are used for adjusting the binary interaction parameters between propane and water. The experimental data generated in this work are compared to literature data and to the calculations through the thermodynamic model tuned on our experimental data. In order to further evaluate the performance of the thermodynamic model, a comparison is made between the predicted water content data and the experimental data reported in the literature. The predictions are in good agreement with the independent experimental data, demonstrating the reliability of the thermodynamic approach used in this work.

Experimental Measurement and Thermodynamic Modeling of Water Content in Methane and Ethane Systems

Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2004

Data on corresponding solid-liquid equilibrium of hyodeoxycholic acid (HDCA) in different solvents is essential for a preliminary study of industrial applications. In this paper, the solid-liquid equilibrium of HDCA in methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, butan-1-ol, ethyl acetate, acetone, acetonitrile, and acetic acid was explored at temperatures ranging from 278.15 to 333.15 K under atmosphere pressure. For the temperature range investigated, the solubility of HDCA in the solvents increased with increasing temperature. The modified Apelblat model, the Buchowski-Ksiazaczak λh model, and ideal model were adopted to describe and predict the change tendency of solubility. Besides, the calculated thermodynamic parameters indicated that in each studied solvent the dissolution process of HDCA is endothermic. Based on the analysis above, ethanol is considered to be the best solvent in crystallization process of HDCA.

Solubility measurement and modeling of water in the gas phase of the methane/water binary system at temperatures from 283.08 to 318.12K and pressures up to 34.5MPa

Fluid Phase Equilibria, 2003

This project involves new solubility measurements of the water distribution in vapor of the methane/water binary system near the hydrate formation conditions. Isothermal vapor-liquid and vapor-hydrate equilibrium data of the vapor phase for the methane/water binary system were measured at 283. 08, 288.11, 293.11, 298.11, 303.12, 308.11, 313.12 and 318.12 K and pressures up to 35 MPa. In this work a static-analytic apparatus taking advantage of a pneumatic capillary sampler (Rolsi TM , Armines' patent) developed in the Cenerg/TEP laboratory is combined with an exponential dilutor. The results are compared with literature data. The eight sets of isothermal P, y data are represented with the Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR EoS) using the Trebble-Bishnoi alpha function, the classical mixing rules for the vapor phase and a Henry's law approach to treat the aqueous phase. The water phase distribution at hydrate forming conditions was calculated by using the Van der Waals and Platteeuw Model.

Measurements and calculations of phase equilibria of binary mixtures of ethane + eicosane. Part I: vapour + liquid equilibria

Fluid Phase Equilibria, 1987

For (ethane+ tetracosane) partial miscibility in the liquid phase occurs in the vicinity of the critical point of ethane. As the three-phase locus (solid tetracosane + 1+ g) intersects the threephase locus (I+ I+ g) a quadruple point (solid tetracosane + I + 1 +g) will be present. The four three-phase loci which must originate in this quadruple point were determined experimentally. In addition bubble-pressure and crystallization-pressure curves as well as molar volumes of liquid tetracosane were determined. The experimental work was carried out in a temperature region from about 280 to 360 K and pressures up to 12 MPa were applied. To test the possibility of representing (I + g) equilibria in this mixture by means of a simple cubic equation of state the original Redlich-Kwong equation of state was used.

Measurements and Correlations of Liquid-liquid-Equilibria of the Mixtures Consisting of Ethanol, Water, Pentane, Hexane, and Cyclohexane

The Open Thermodynamics Journal, 2010

In this study, the liquid-liquid equilibria of the mixtures consisted of ethanol, water, and the main components of gasoline fuel: pentane, hexane, and cyclohexane were experimentally determined. This study is related to the phase behavior when water in atmosphere is absorbed into ethanol + gasoline fuel (gasohol) and then possibly separates into two liquid phases in an automobile fuel tank or an underground storage tank. The liquid-liquid equilibria in this study include three ternary systems: ethanol + water + pentane, ethanol + water + hexane, and ethanol + water + cyclohexane; three quaternary systems: ethanol + water + pentane + hexane, ethanol + water + pentane + cyclohexane, and ethanol + water + hexane + cyclohexane; one quinary system: ethanol + water + pentane + hexane + cyclohexane. The present experiments were conducted at 293.15, 303.15, and 308.15 K, and the experimental data were collected and some were compared to that available in literature, and finally all data were correlated with the UNIQUAC activity coefficient model.
