Low pressure solubility and thermodynamics of solvation of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide in fluorinated liquids
文摘
The solubility of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide in three fluorinated liquids – perfluorohexylethane, perfluorooctane and bromoperfluorooctane – is presented. Mole fraction solubilities were calculated from new experimental Ostwald coefficient data for CO2 and CO, and from previously published values for O2, associated with original values of density and vapour pressure for the pure solvents. Carbon dioxide is the most soluble gas with mole fraction solubilities of the order of 10−2. Oxygen and carbon monoxide are one order of magnitude less soluble. The measurements were done as a function of temperature between (288 and 313) K and from the variation of the calculated Henry’s law constants with temperature, the thermodynamic properties of solvation such as the Gibbs free energy, the enthalpy and the entropy were calculated. The precision of the experimental data, considered as the average absolute deviation of the Henry’s law constants from appropriate smoothing equations is of 1 % for carbon dioxide and oxygen and of 3 % for carbon monoxide. The data obtained here are judged accurate to within ±5 % .
