Solubility of Oxygen in Organic Solvents and Calculation of the Hansen Solubility Parameters of Oxygen

Abstract

The solubility of oxygen in 21 pure organic solvents was measured at 298.2 K and 101.33 kPa using the static method. The Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) of oxygen were determined from the measured solubilities in the pure solvents. The HSPs of oxygen were δd = 6.7 MPa1/2, δp = 0.0 MPa1/2, and δh = 3.8 MPa1/2, where d, p, and h stand for dispersion forces, dipole interaction, and hydrogen bonding, respectively. A linear relationship between the log of the gas solubility (log x G) in pure solvents and the difference between the HSP values of oxygen and the pure solvents was obtained with a high correlation coefficient of 0.944. In addition, the solubilities of oxygen in mixed solvents were measured, and these were compared with the oxygen gas solubility calculated from the HSPs of oxygen.

Combination of Aryl Diselenides/Hydrogen Peroxide and Carbon‐Nanotube/Rhodium Nanohybrids for Naphthol Oxidation: An Efficient Route towards Trypanocidal Quinones

“…We evaluated the use of different solvents (tetrahydrofuran, 1,4‐dioxane, nitromethane, hexane and i PrOH/hexane) and the presence of co‐oxidants (oxone and O 2 ) (Table , entries 4–9). The best results were obtained in i PrOH/hexane, as compound 2 a was obtained in 100 % yield within 2 h of reaction and in the presence of 100 mol % of (PhSe) 2 , and H 2 O 2 /O 2 as co‐oxidant (Table , entry 9) This result can be rationalised by the increased solubility of oxygen in this solvent mixture, as previously reported by Yamamoto and co‐workers …”

Liquid phase oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol to cinnamaldehyde using multiwall carbon nanotubes decorated with zinc-manganese oxide nanoparticles

“…In order to find that the effect of stirring the CnOH-to-CnHO conversion was performed at different stirring speed without vary the other experimental parameters as shown in The order for oxygen solubility was heptane>cyclohexane>benzene [35]. However, in the present study high conversion was noted in benzene; indicate that the small solubility difference may have no impact on conversion.…”

Photopolymerization of maleimide perfluoropolyalkylethers without a photoinitiator

“…Consequently, the difference between both hydrogenated spacers C5 and C10 was more visible in the presence of air. Moreover, it is notable that oxygen has greater solubility in organic solvents with longer aliphatic chains (e.g., heptane and octane), and lower solubility in those with shorter aliphatic chains (e.g., pentane and hexane) . Therefore, the decreased oxygen solubility afforded by the longer hydrogenated spacer in M1 C10 monomer could explain this monomer's greater resistance to oxygen inhibition and increased reaction rate compared to M1 C5.…”
