Solubility of Hydrogen Sulfide, Sulfur Dioxide, Carbon Dioxide, Propane, and n -Butane in Poly(glyco1 ethers) Steven F. Sciamanna and Scott Lynn* Department o f Chemical Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720
Data on the solubility of acid and hydrocarbon gases for poly(glyco1 ethers) are necessary for the development of the University of California, Berkeley, Sulfur Removal Process. An automated gas solubility measurement system was used to collect data on the solubility of hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, propane, and n-butane in a variety of these solvents. The partial pressure of solute gas in these experiments was between 3 and 100 kPa. Correlations for Henry's law coefficients are given as a function of temperature. Gas solubility in the organic solvents decreases when small amounts of water (
