The water contents of compressed methane gas In equilibrium with water and diethylene glycol-water solutions of 0.156, 0.472, and 0.662 mole fraction water were measured at 298.15 and 323.15 K and pressures of 3, 5, and 8 MPa. The solubilities of methane In the diethylene glycol, water, and diethylene glycol-water solutions were also measured under the same conditions of the water content measurement. The methane solubility data were analyzed with the Krlchevsky-Kasarnovsky equation to obtain the Henry constant of methane In the diethylene glycol-water solutions.Gas dehydration plays an important part in gas purification processes. Diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol are effective gas dehydrating agents. A knowledge of the vapor-liquid equilibria in the gas-glycol-water system is helpful in designing an effective dehydration system. Takahashi et al. (1) have reported the vapor-liquid equilibrium data in the carbon dioxide-diethylene glycol-water and carbon dioxide-triethylene glycol-water systems. In this study, we measured the vapor-liquid equilibria in the methane-diethylene glycol-water system at 298.15 and 323.15 K and pressures of 3, 5, and 8 MPa.
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.
