Abstract

AbstractA correlation for hydrogen solubility in aromatic, alicyclic, and heterocyclic hydrocarbon solvents is presented. This correlation, employing corresponding state theory, provides reliable estimates for hydrogen solubility, in simple and multicomponent solvents, over the temperature interval 0.45 ≤ Tr ≤ 0.97, and for pressures from 0.1 to 30.0 MPa. The correlation was found to have an average absolute error of 5.9% for 14 simple solvents, and 6.8% for 11 multicomponent solvents which include coal liquids and bitumen. Solvent specific coefficients are not employed, and the correlation is well suited for predicting hydrogen solubility in multicomponent ill defned solvents, or in simple solvents where experimental data are unavailable.
