Diffusivities of hydrogen and glyceryl trioleate in cottonseed oil at elevated temperature

Abstract

Abstract The diffusivities of hydrogen and glyceryl trioleate in cottonseed oil were determined at different iodine values. The diffusivity of hydrogen was shown to be ca. 100 times as great as that of the glyceryl trioleate. The diffusivities were shown to be dependent upon the iodine values. This influence could be explained, at least in the case of the glyceryl trioleate diffusion, by the difference of the viscosity of the oil. A separate determination of the solubility of hydrogen in the oil was a necessary part of the diffusivity determination.
