The review examines how temperature and pressure affect nitrogen and air solubility in liquids, including trends across homologous series and related solvents. The authors smooth n‑alkane solubility data over temperature, pressure, and carbon number for a wide range of liquids, including water, seawater, hydrocarbons, organic compounds, and various biological and inorganic solvents. The study critically evaluates solubility data and provides recommended or tentative values expressed as smoothing equations or tables.
This review covers the solubility of nitrogen and air in liquids as a function of temperature and pressure. Solubility data for individual systems were critically evaluated. Recommended or tentative values are presented as smoothing equations and/or in tabular form. Trends in homologous series or related solvents are discussed. Data for the n-alkanes were smoothed with respect to temperature, pressure, and carbon number. Liquids include: water; heavy water; seawater; aqueous salt solutions; mixed solvents; hydrocarbons; organic compounds containing oxygen, halogen, sulfur, nitrogen, or silicon; olive oil; various biological fluids; H2S; SO2; NH3; CO2; nitrogen oxides; and several halogen and boron containing inorganic solvents.
