GAS-LIQUID SOLUBILITIES OF CARBON-MONOXIDE, CARBON-DIOXIDE, HYDROGEN, WATER, 1-ALCOHOLS (1-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-N-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-6), AND N-PARAFFINS (2-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-N-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-6) IN HEXADECANE, OCTACOSANE, 1-HEXADECANOL, PHENANTHRENE, AND TETRAETHYLENE GLYCOL AT PRESSURES UP TO 5.5 MPA AND TEMPERATURES FROM 293 TO 553-K

The gas-liquid solubilities of the solutes carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, water, ethane, propane, pentane, hexane, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-hexanol in the solvents tetraethylene glycol, hexadecane, octacosane, 1-hexadecanol, and phenanthrene were measured as a function of temperature. The solutes are all reactants or products relevant for synthesis gas conversion into alcohols and/or hydrocarbons. The solvents are seen as potentially attractive for synthesis gas conversion via gas-slurry processes. Experimental conditions varied between 293 and 553 K and 0.06 and 5.5 MPa, covering typical process conditions for synthesis gas conversion. The total set of experimental results consists of 1533 gas-liquid solubilities divided over 60 binary systems. As far as we know hardly any of the gas-liquid solubilities from this set have been reported previously in the literature. Where literature data are available, a comparison is made with our data. This comparison always shows an agreement within the calculated experimental errors with an average deviation of 7.6% and a maximal deviation of 15.0%.
