Abstract

The solubility of nitrogen and argon in aqueous solutions of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) were measured, using the drop pressure method, at temperatures between (283.15 and 298.15) K and partial pressure of 101325 Pa of gas in an instrument specially developed for this purpose. The gas solubility was calculated as Henry’s constant. The solubilities of argon and of nitrogen increase linearly with DTAB concentration and decrease as the temperature increases. Experimental results show that the increase in the solubility of argon and nitrogen in the DTAB micelles is between 59.0 and 83.5 higher than the solubility in pure water, reflecting the ability of DTAB micelles to increase the solubility of non-polar gases in water.
