Abstract The solubility data of methane in hydrocarbons,ranging from alkanes,aromatichydrocarbons,cycloalkanes and ethenes,were researched and Henry constants were gotten by correlating the data of different pressures in the same temperature.It was proved that Henry law is applicable at the researched pressures. The effect of solvent carbon atoms and construction of hydrocarbons on methane's Henry constant has been studied in detail.The temperature coefficients of Henry constant were correlated.At the same time,a method was advanced to estimate methane Henry constants in hydrocarbons using critical volume.The above data and calculation methods are valuable for the application of liquid natural gas.
