Abstract
In this work, the solubility of methane and ethane were studied in aqueous dispersion of silver nanoparticles (1, 5, and 10 ppm) at temperatures of 1, 2.5, 10, and 11.5 °C for methane and 2.5, 5, 10, 15.5 °C for ethane and at initial pressures 1 to 5.5 and 0.35–2.15 MPa for methane and ethane, respectively. The nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized through UV–vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image. The results demonstrated that silver nanoparticles increased the solubility of methane and ethane up to 13 and 16% compared with pure water, respectively. The solubility of methane and ethane were enhanced by increasing the nanoparticles mass loading. The effect of nanoparticles on ethane solubility was more significant than methane solubility.
