Solubility of ethylbenzene and xylene in pure water and aqueous alkanolamine solutions

This paper is continuation of the study concerning the solubility of aromatics in aqueous alkanolamine solutions. Vapour pressures of ethylbenzene and xylene over aqueous (liquid + liquid) mixtures are reported herein. Solubility data of ethylbenzene and xylene in pure water and solubility data of ethylbenzene in aqueous alkanolamine solutions {methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) + diglycolamine® (DGA)} are also reported herein. Modelling of solubility data is achieved using a simple model based on activity coefficients.
