THE VAPOR PRESSURES OF SOME HYDROCARBONS IN THE LIQUID AND SOLID STATE AT LOW TEMPERATURES

摘要

This paper presents a brief review of the literature pertaining to the vapor pressure of eleven hydrocarbons at low temperatures. These hydrocarbons are methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, iso-butane (2-methyl propane), n-pentane, ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, acetylene and cyclopropane. All of these except cyclopropane are encountered in the purification of hydrogen from refinery sources.
