solubility of high molecular weight n-paraffins in supercritical carbon dioxide has been a matter of interest to many researchers. however, not sufficient solubility experimental data are available although the methods by which the experimental data are obtained have many varieties. utilizing cubic equations of state is an effective method for solubility prediction of n-paraffins in supercritic...

High-temperature gas chromatography (HTGC) has enhanced our ability to characterize hydrocarbons extending to C120 in crude oils. As a result, hydrocarbons in waxes (> C20) have been observed to vary signi®cantly between crude oils, even those presumed to originate from the same source. Prior to this development, microcrystalline waxes containing hydrocarbons above C40 were not characterized on...

Interest in the biodegradation mechanisms and environmental fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is prompted by their ubiquitous distribution and their potentially deleterious effects on human health. PAHs constitute a large and diverse class of organic compounds and are generally described as molecules which consist of three or more fused aromatic rings in various structural configu...
