Solubility Of Aromatics Research Articles

Lennard–Jones Lecture 2017*

ABSTRACTSome examples of the use of molecular dynamics simulation to study solutions of small molecules in ionic liquids are discussed. It is shown that electrostatic forces, while not the dominant solute–solvent interaction, determine the local solute environment. The solubility of aromatics and the changes in the spectra of low-frequency intermolecular vibrations in two related ionic liquids (one dicationic and one monocationic) are compared with experimental results and related to the local environment.

Solubility of ethylbenzene and xylene in pure water and aqueous alkanolamine solutions

This paper is continuation of the study concerning the solubility of aromatics in aqueous alkanolamine solutions. Vapour pressures of ethylbenzene and xylene over aqueous (liquid + liquid) mixtures are reported herein. Solubility data of ethylbenzene and xylene in pure water and solubility data of ethylbenzene in aqueous alkanolamine solutions {methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) + diglycolamine ® (DGA)} are also reported herein. Modelling of solubility data is achieved using a simple model based on activity coefficients.
