Reciprocal Solubility of Gasoline Fractions and Ethanol

Reciprocal solubility of gasoline and gasoline fractions in ethanol depending upon the aromatic hydrocarbon content in them has been investigated. Conditionally the ternary system “paraffin-naphthenic hydrocarbons–aromatic hydrocarbon–ethanol” demonstrates a bounded solubility with two pairs of the components. Ethanol solubility in hydrocarbons is only 1–3 %. The hydrocarbons solubility in ethanol depends upon water content in it and the temperature.
