Accurate CO 2 solubility data are crucial for putting a proposal of pressurized liquefied natural gas (PLNG) project into practice. A solid−liquid equilibrium (SLE) apparatus, which is based on the static−analytic method, has been set up to measure the solubility of carbon dioxide in saturated liquid CH 4 /CH 4 + N 2 /CH 4 + C 2 H 6 in the pressure region from atmospheric up to 3 MPa, corresponding to the temperature region from (112 to 170) K. In addition, Peng− Robinson (PR) and Suave−Redlich−Kwong (SRK) equationsof-state (EOS) are selected to calculate the solubility of carbon dioxide in CH 4 + N 2 and CH 4 + C 2 H 6 mixtures, and the results are consistent with the experimental data in the whole region. Two temperature-dependent correlations for the interaction coefficients k ij on CH 4 + CO 2 system are derived by the experimental data for PR and SRK EOS, which can improve the calculation accuracy of the binary and ternary solid−liquid phase equilibrium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
