Solubility of Methane in Toluene at Temperatures from 313 to 423 K at Pressures to 8.9 MPa

Abstract

Solubility data are presented for methane in toluene at temperatures of 313.2, 338.7, and 423.2 K at pressures to 8.9 MPa. The data are in reasonable agreement with the measurements of Lin et al. at 423 K but differ significantly from those of Elbishlawi et al. at 338.7 K. Our data can be described with root-mean-square deviations of about 0.0005 in mole fraction by the Soave−Redlich−Kwong and Peng−Robinson equations of state when a single interaction parameter per isotherm is employed in the equations.
