SDS Volume (633)
Volume 37. Hydrocarbons in Water and Seawater, Part I, p 129
Original Measurements
Kudchadker, A. P.; McKetta, J. J.; Petrol Refiner 1962, 41, 191-2.
Variables:
Room Temp:
37.8 - 137.8
°C
Pressure:
0.1 - 5.7
$\pu{MPa}$

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The experimental apparatus and analytical technique are described in [1]. The equilibrium apparatus consisted of a jacketed cell with an internal heating coil. The mixing of the contents of the cell was achieved by a rocking mechanism.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Phillips Petroleum Co., purity 99.0 mole percent; used as received.
- Distilled and boiled to remove any dissolved gases.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not specified.
