Abstract:
The solubility of sulfur dioxide in chlorine-treated wastewater was investigated. An experimental study was carried out to measure the solubility of sulfur dioxide in chlorine-treated wastewater over the temperature range of 10-40 degrees C. The highest solubility of sulfur dioxide was found to be equal to 1.098 x 10(-3) mole/L at 10 degrees C, whereas the lowest value of 6.17 x 10(-4) mole/L was obtained at 40 degrees C. The solubility of sulfur dioxide was correlated as a second-order dependence on temperature. The measured solubility data of sulfur dioxide in chlorine-treated wastewater were found in good agreement with that obtained using the solubility correlation.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...

Factors Affecting Solubility
Solubility
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules, atoms, and/or ions)...
