A study of the solubility of oil in water : report / presented by Benjamin C.Y. Lu and Jiri Polak, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Ottawa, to Environmental Emergency Branch, Environmental... : En46-4/76-1E-PDF
"Experiments were conducted to determine the total solubility of oil in water. Three oils were employed; Number 2 fuel oil, medium bunker fuel, and western crude oil. The total solubilities of these oils were determined by dissolution tests and by static equilibrium tests; both testing procedures attained similar results. The maximum solubilities and the lengths of time in which these were attained were found to be of the following orders of magnitude; Number 2 fuel oil, 7. 5 ppm, attained in 5 days; medium bunker fuel, 2. 3 ppm, attained in 2 days; and western crude oil, 46 ppm, attained in 8 days. The rates of removal of the dissolved components from solution in water, were also investigated. It was observed that the time duration of removal was analagous to the time duration for the attainment of maximum concentration. Traces of soluble hydrocarbons were found to persist for at least 13 days after their introduction into solution"--Abstract, page i.
