Title: Correlation of published data on the solubility of methane in H/sub 2/O-NaCl solutions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7369448

A new correlation of the available published data for the solubility of methane in water was developed, based on fundamental thermodynamic relationships. An empirical relationship for the salting-out coefficient of NaCl for methane solubility in water was determined as a function of temperature. Root mean square and average deviations for the new correlation, the Haas correlation, and the revised Blount equation are compared.
