Solubility of gases in butanols. IV. Solubilities of nonpolar gases in 2-methyl-2-propanol at 303.15 K and 101.33 kPa partial pressure of gas

摘要

Solubilities of 15 nonpolar gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, H_2, D_2, N_2, O_2, CH_4, C_2H_4, C_2H_6, CF_4, SF_6, and CO_2) in 2-methyl-2-propanol (tert-butanol) have been measured at the temperature 303.15 K and 101.33 kPa partial pressure of gas. Standard changes of the Gibbs energy of solution have been also determined from experimental data. The Lennard-Jones 6,12 pair potential parameters have been estimated for that solvent using the Scaled Particle Theory (SPT) and these parameters have been compared with those corresponding to the other isomers of butanol. It can be concluded that the derived energy parameters provide a measurement of the association of the alkanol. A version of the UNIFAC model has been applied and the corresponding interaction parameters for alkanes and alkanols have been determined.
