The solubility of ethane and propane in sunflower oil has been measure
d at temperatures between 298 K and 373 K, and pressures up to 8.88 MP
a. Partial liquid miscibility was observed, for mixtures of high hydro
carbon concentrations, in the near -critical region of the solvent; th
e compositions of the coexisting liquid phases were calculated from a
mass balance in the equilibrium cell.
