Alkane solubilities were measured experimentally for high-density biomass. The resulting Henry's law constants for propane were found to decrease significantly for both dense yeast suspensions and an actual propane-degrading biofilm consortium. At the biomass densities of a typical biofilm, propane

✦ Synopsis
The differing thermodynamic behavior of straight‐chain and branched hydrocarbons in mixtures with other compounds is particularly important in separation processes. An extension of the Flory theory now permits a consistent description of the excess quantitites for mixtures of isomeric alkanes with cyclohexane and prediction of these quantities for regions of pressure and temperature not yet examined experimentally.

Effective critical constants for helium and normal hydrogen have been determined by fitting experimental volumetric data for these gases to the generalized tables of Pitzer. The effective critical temperature and pressure are found to depend on the temperature and on the molecular mass in a simple m
