Phase behavior of hydrogen–light-hydrocarbon systems

The decreasing solubility of hydrogen in hydrocarbons with decreasing temperature continues down to the freezing point of the hydrocarbons, around −300°F. This behavior is shown to be an enlargement of phenomena exhibited by normal hydrocarbon mixtures. Methods of predicting equilibrium-phase compositions are presented for hydrogen in ligh-hydrocarbon systems. The correlations are satisfactory for binary and certain ternary systems, but are not reliable for complex mixtures.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/37292/1/690030219_ftp.pd
