Solubility of oxygen in aqueous sodium carbonate solution at pressures up to 10 MPa

The solubilities of oxygen in 0.2, 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0 M Na2CO3 solution have been measured at 300.15 K and under pressures up to 10 MPa using a magnetically stirred autoclave and a direct sampling technique. The accuracy of apparatus was verified by duplicating the solubility of oxygen in pure water in literature. The experimental data of the solubility of oxygen in aqueous sodium carbonate solution were shown that the solubility of oxygen increases with increasing pressure and decreases with increasing salt concentration due to salting-out effect. The experimentally measured data were satisfactorily compared with the predicted values by our model based on non-primitive mean spherical approximation (MSA) and perturbation theory.
