Temporal profiles of the water-soluble components of some oil products: the solubility limits and dissolution/evaporation balance

Abstract

Approximate water-solubility limits were determined for gasoline/water mixtures using an original method of UV-spectrometry. During the preliminary investigations it was found that some comparatively soluble oil compounds can form an aqueous solution with a limit concentration approximately 0.35 g/L (for gasoline-water mixtures).
