INTRODUCTION
This bibliography has been prepared as a part of the Illinois State
Water Survey program for the study of sewage treatment and the effect
of pollution on streams. Particular attention has therefore been given
to oxygen and air. We have attempted however to include references
to work on other gases, wherever such work contained information of
value on the general question of rate of solution and solubility of gases.
An exhaustive survey of the literature has not been made, but rather
an attempt to select some references covering each of the several lines
of interest in dissolved gases. Furthermore, to facilitate selection of
those articles having a bearing on any one problem, a rough grouping
by reference numbers under general headings has been included. While
such artificial grouping is necessarily only approximate, it is hoped that
a table of contents of this form may render the bibliography more
serviceable.

URBANA, ILLINOIS, December 15, 1924.
A. M. Shelton, Chairman, and Members of the Board of Natural Resources
and Conservation Advisors:
GENTLEMEN: I herewith submit an annotated bibliography on
The Solubility and Rate of Solution of Gases and request that it be
printed as Bulletin No. 19. This search of the literature was under-
taken in connection with the researches of this Division on sewage
treatment, stream pollution and the recovery of streams from pollution.
On account of the usefulness of this bibliography to a variety of
problems we are submitting it for separate publication.
Respectfully submitted,
A. M. BUSWELL, Chief.

38, 317-38 (1919); 39, 385-404 (1920); 42, 87-96 (1921).
Preliminary experiments show that water becomes satu-
rated by two steps: rapid absorption by surface layers, and
very slow diffusion to lower depths. Measurements were
made on rate of absorption from bubbles of photograph-
ically-determined size for salt and fresh water, and an
expression developed for calculating the per cent satura-
tion under different conditions.

Under natural conditions aeration is effected by mixing
of the exposed layer to depths of 10 feet; mixing is caused
by "streaming" which depends upon cooling by evapora-
tion from the surface layer and is most marked in 1%
salt solution.

314 WILLIAMSON, R. V. and MATHEWS, J. H. Rate of Absorption
and Equilibrium of Carbon Dioxide in Alkaline Solutions.
J. Ind. Eng. Chem. 76, 1157-61 (1924).
In commercial production scarcely half the carbon dioxide
can be economically saved; factors controlling the rate of
absorption are studied to increase the efficiency. The rate
in potassium carbonate is independent of concentration
and increases up to 70° if the saturation does not exceed
65%. Methods for determining the equilibria in solution
are given.

A method for dissolved oxygen determination is given; the
oxygen may increase up to 183% by falling a distance of a

ten. (Laws Governing the Diffusion of Gases in liquid,
semi-liquid and solid bodies.)
Ann. Phys. Chem. 238, 481-513 (1877).
The diffusion of carbon dioxide is measured in water,
sodium chloride solution, some vegetable oils, gelatine of
different water contents, and rubber; the change in specific
gravity of water due to gas absorption is determined; an
expression is derived following the Biot-Fourier theorem
to represent the gas diffusion.

in Pure Water.)

Further work on gas diffusion; carbon dioxide does not
follow the Biot-Fourier law, since diffusion is interfered
with by sinking of the saturated upper layers (see No.
273).
