Abstract
The solubility of hydrogen in Athabasca bitumen was measured using a batch autoclave. The experiments were conducted at temperatures in the range 50-3 00 degrees C at partial pressures of hydrogen up to 24.8 MPa. The predictio n and correlation of the solubility data by the Peng-Robinson equation, the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation and the Grayson-Streed method were carried ou t. The best result was obtained with the use of either a modified Peng-Robi nson or Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Lt d. All rights reserved.
