ENGINEERING STUDIES ON SOLUBILIZATION ADDITIVES FOR WATER IN MINERAL OIL
Abstract
The object of the study was to find an additive capable of solubilizing small amounts of water in mineral oil throughout the temperature range of -65 F to +400 F. Hydrophilic substances which were soluble in mineral oil were tried. When none proved satisfactory, hundreds of available organic chemicals containing different functional groups were tried, in the event that some of these materials would exhibit unpredicted favorable solubilization properties. The trend of solvency in relationship to carbon content within each individual homologous series was studied. Although there were instances where solubilization occurred, no single additive or mixture was found which would give the desired results over the specified temperature range.
