CO2 is more soluble in heavy oil than the propane, and it, therefore, generates a more significant reduction in oil viscosity (Talbi and Maini 2004).
Light oil is more soluble in water than the heavy oil, and its critical temperature is lower than that of the heavy oil.
In ECSP, two types of hydrocarbon solvents are injected separately, in a cyclic manner; one slug is more volatile (methane) and the other is more soluble (propane or ethane) in heavy oil and bitumen.
As a result, smaller size fraction of IBA shows stronger retarding effect due to the presence of more soluble calcium-bearing substance and leachable heavy metals which prohibit dissolution of C3S and hinder nucleation of portlandite and C-S-H.
In general, heavy organics (containing polyaromatics) will be more soluble than light cracked components.
Scientists reported at the April 2008 annual meeting of the Society for General Microbiology that the district is home not only to numerous rare animal and flower species but also to metal-eating bacteria, whose excretions may convert heavy metals in the soil into more soluble toxic forms that can leach easily into groundwater, reservoirs, and waterways.
It is possible that at least some bacteria evolved near hydrothermal vents in waters replete with heavy metal ions, where sulfides would likely have been more soluble.
Single domain antibodies from camelidae (variable domain of heavy chain antibody (VHH) also called nanobodies) or shark-derived antibody fragments [ 8], are more soluble and efficiently expressed in heterologous systems than ScFvs; this clearly improved prospects of these molecules for a range applications including intracellular-specific VHHs [ 9].
The nutrient content of the castings, which have gone through the earthworm's digestive system, had 5 times more soluble nitrogen, 7 times the soluble phosphorus, 11 times the soluble potassium, and 3 times the soluble magnesium plus a smaller amount of calcium.
It is somewhat soluble in water and much more soluble in benzene and carbon tetrachloride.
