Solubility and Thermodynamic Properties of A Hexanediamine Derivative in Pure Organic Solvents and Nonaqueous Solvent Mixtures

The solubility of N,N′-Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)-1,6-hexanediamine in seven pure solvents (acetonitrile, acetone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate and isobutyl acetate) and two binary solvent mixtures (acetone?+?acetonitrile and methyl acetate?+?acetonitrile) were measured from 273.15 to 303.15 K at atmospheric pressure by a dynamic method. The solubility data in these pure solvents were correlated by the modified Apelblat model, the Wilson model and the NRTL model, and that in the binary solvents mixture were fitted to the CNIBS/R–K model and the NRTL model. Furthermore, the mixing thermodynamic properties in pure and binary solvent systems were calculated and are discussed, based on the NRTL model. Finally, the applicability of the model of Zhang et al. (Ind Eng Chem Res 51:6933–6938, 2012) in correlating solubility data versus dielectric constant was extended from organic solvent–water mixtures to pure organic solvents and nonaqueous organic solvent mixtures. It was found that the dissolution behavior of a compound in the binary solvent mixtures can be predicted to some extent from those in pure solvents.     

Solubility and solution thermodynamics of 2, 6-bis (4-hydroybenzylidene) cyclohexanone in pure and binary solvents at various temperatures

Solubility of 2, 6-bis (4-hydroxybenzylidene) cyclohexanone (BHBC) in pure solvents such as 1,4-dioxane, methanol, 1-butanol, 1-propanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, tetrahydrofuran (THF), glacial acetic acid, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and binary solvents dimethyl formamide (DMF) and (1-Propanol + Tetrahydrofuran) were investigated by gravimetric method at different temperature range. The experiment solubility increases with increase in temperature in both pure and binary solvents. The Maximum solubility is found in DMF at 328.15 K and for binary solvent mixture i.e. 1-propanol and THF (0.9 mol fraction) it was maximum at 318.15 K. Further modified Apelblate and Buchowski-Ksiazczak models were used for the theoretical calculation of solubility of BHBC in pure as well binary solvents. A satisfactory correlation of these models with experimental data was observed. The solution thermodynamics parameters like enthalpies, Gibb's free energy of dissolution and entropy of solutions were calculated using Van't Hoff and Gibb's equation, which reveals the solvation mechanism is non-spontaneous and entropy driven.     

Solid–liquid phase equilibrium and mixing thermodynamic analysis of coumarin in binary solvent mixtures

The solubility of coumarin in three aqueous solvent mixtures (methanol + water, ethanol + water and acetone + water) was experimentally determined by a gravimetric method at atmospheric pressure. The experimental solubility data were fitted using the modified Apelblat equation, non-random two-liquid (NRTL) equation, the combined nearly ideal binary solvent/Redlich–Kister equation and the Jouyban?Acree equation, respectively. All the equations were proven to be able to correlate the experimental data, and the modified Apelblat equation could obtain better correlation results than the other three models. The solubility of coumarin increases with increase in temperature. At the same temperature, the solubility increases with increase in mole fraction of organic solvents except for the ethanol–water system which shows a unimodal curve. In addition, the apparent thermodynamic properties of the mixing process were calculated based on the NRTL model and the experimental solubility data.     

Equilibrium solubility of 6-propyl-2-thiouracil in nine pure solvents: Determination,correlation, Hansen solubility parameter and thermodynamic properties

Investigation upon the solid–liquid equilibrium on solubility data of 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (PLT) in pure organic solvents is essential for separation and purifying in industry process. In this work, PLT solubility in nine neat solvents was experimentally determined at 278.15 K–323.15 K under P = 0.1 MPa. These selected solvents were tetrahydrofuran(THF), acetone, acetonitrile,1-butanol,1-pentanol, 2-butanol, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate,1-propyl acetate, respectively. Experiment results showed that solubility was consistent with temperature and decreased according to the order: THF > acetone>1-butanol≈1-pentanol> 2-butanol > methyl acetate > ethyl acetate>1-propyl acetate > acetonitrile. Solvent effect and Hansen solubility parameter (HSP) were incited to explain dissolution rule on solute. Four thermodynamic models (modi?ed Apelblat model, Van't model, λh model and NRTL model) were adopted to correlate PLT solubility and provide good correlations on basis of RD, ARD and RMSD. In addition, thermodynamic properties (ΔH°, ΔS° and ΔG°) of PLT dissolution process in pure solvents were discussed and proved to be endothermic, entropically driven and non-spontaneous process.     

Measurement and correlation of the solubility of genistin in eleven organic solvents from T = (283.2 to 323.2) K

The solubilities of genistin in pure solvents including tetrahydrofuran, acetone, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, isopropanol, n-butyl alcohol, methanol, cyclohexane, n-hexane, chloroform and ethanol were determined by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis method at T = (283.2, 293.2, 303.2, 313.2 and 323.2) K. The fusion enthalpy of genistin was estimated by the group contribution method. The solubility data of genistin were correlated by the simplified thermodynamic model, the modified Apelblat model, λh model and NRTL (Non-Random Two-Liquid) model. The calculated values by all models were in good agreement with the experimental values and however, the NRTL model could give better correlation results than other three models.     

Solution thermodynamics of valnemulin hydrogen fumarate in different pure solvents

Solubility of valnemulin hydrogen fumarate in five pure solvents was determined within temperature range of (278.15 to 323.15) K by a gravimetric method. The results show that the solubility of valnemulin hydrogen fumarate in tested pure solvents increases with the increasing temperature. The solubility values were correlated by the Wilson model, NRTL model and UNIQUAC model. The UNIQUAC volume parameter, area parameter, and Wilson liquid molar volume parameter of valnemulin hydrogen fumarate were estimated by the group contribution method. It was found that the correlated results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, the mixing thermodynamic properties of valnemulin hydrogen fumarate in solutions, including the mixing Gibbs energy, the mixing enthalpy and entropy, were determined by using the Wilson model and the experimental solubility results.     

Experimental analysis and thermodynamic modelling of Nitroxynil solubility in pure solvent and binary solvent

Nitroxynil(NIT) is a commonly used anti-liver fluke drug for cattle and sheep, Its solubility is closely related to its preparation. In this work, the molar solubility of NIT in nine pure solvents (methanol, ethanol, 1,2-propanediolethyl, isopropanol, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, n-butanol, phemethylol) and two kinds of binary mixtures with different ratio(ethanol + phemethylol; ethanol + acetonitrile) was determined by shake flask method over the temperature from 278.15 ～ 323.15 K at atmosphere pressure. Results show that the solubility of NIT in all tested solvents was increased with raised temperature. In mono-solvents, the mole fraction solubility of NIT was highest in phemethylol and the solubility order is: phemethylol > acetonitrile > ethyl acetate > methanol > n-butanol > ethanol > 1,2-propanediolethyl > isopropanol > water. In binary solvents, the mole fraction solubility increased with increasing ratio of phemethylol/acetonitrile. In mono-solvents, the modified Apelblat equation, λh equation, Van't Hoff model were applied to correlate the solubility data. In binary solvents, the modified Apelblat equation, λh equation, GSM model and Jouyban-Acree model were to correlate the solubility data. Solubility order of NIT in nine pure solvent and two binary solvent systems were analysed by using the Hansen solubility parameter (HSP). Activity coefficient was to access the solute–solvent molecular interactions. In addition, the dissolution of NIT is an endothermic and entropy-friendly process, since thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy, entropy, and apparent standard Gibbs free energy are all greater than zero. The results will supply some essential data on recrystallization process, purification and formulation development of NIT in pharmaceutical applications.     

Solubility and solution thermodynamics of sorbic acid in eight pure organic solvents

By the gravimetric method, the solubility of sorbic acid in eight solvents including ethanol, 2-propanol, methanol, 1-butanol, ethyl acetate, methyl tert-butyl ether, acetone and acetonitrile was determined over a temperature range from 285.15 to K at atmospheric pressure. For the temperature range investigated, the solubility of sorbic acid in the solvents increased with increasing temperature. The experimental values were correlated with the linear solvation energy relationship, modified Apelblat equation, λh equation, non-random two-liquid (NRTL) model, and Wilson model. On the other hand, the enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy of dissolution were obtained from these solubility values by using the van’t Hoff and Gibbs equations. The excess enthalpy of solution was estimated on the basis of λh equation. Furthermore, the a priori predictive model COSMO-RS was employed to predict the solubility of sorbic acid in selected solvents and reasonable agreement with experimental values is achieved.     

The Effect of Functional Groups on the Phase Behavior of Carbon Dioxide Binaries and Their Role in CCS

In recent years we have focused our efforts on investigating various binary mixtures containing carbon dioxide to find the best candidate for CO₂ capture and, therefore, for applications in the field of CCS and CCUS technologies. Continuing this project, the present study investigates the phase behavior of three binary systems containing carbon dioxide and different oxygenated compounds. Two thermodynamic models are examined for their ability to predict the phase behavior of these systems. The selected models are the well-known Peng–Robinson (PR) equation of state and the General Equation of State (GEOS), which is a generalization for all cubic equations of state with two, three, and four parameters, coupled with classical van der Waals mixing rules (two-parameter conventional mixing rule, 2PCMR). The carbon dioxide + ethyl acetate, carbon dioxide + 1,4-dioxane, and carbon dioxide + 1,2-dimethoxyethane binary systems were analyzed based on GEOS and PR equation of state models. The modeling approach is entirely predictive. Previously, it was proved that this approach was successful for members of the same homologous series. Unique sets of binary interaction parameters for each equation of state, determined for the carbon dioxide + 2-butanol binary model system, based on k₁₂–l₁₂ method, were used to examine the three systems. It was shown that the models predict that CO₂ solubility in the three substances increases globally in the order 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, and ethyl acetate. CO₂ solubility in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, 1.4-dioxane, and ethyl acetate reduces with increasing temperature for the same pressure, and increases with lowering temperature for the same pressure, indicating a physical dissolving process of CO₂ in all three substances. However, CO₂ solubility for the carbon dioxide + ether systems (1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane) is better at low temperatures and pressures, and decreases with increasing pressures, leading to higher critical points for the mixtures. By contrast, the solubility of ethyl acetate in carbon dioxide is less dependent on temperatures and pressures, and the mixture has lower pressures critical points. In other words, the ethers offer better solubilization at low pressures; however, the ester has better overall miscibility in terms of lower critical pressures. Among the binary systems investigated, the 1,2-dimethoxyethane is the best solvent for CO₂ absorption.     

Experimental and thermodynamic analysis on the solubility of valsartan in ethyl acetate + (butanone,isopropyl ether) binary solvent mixtures (from 278.15 to 323.15 K)

The solubility of valsartan in ethyl acetate + (butanone, isopropyl ether) binary solvent mixtures was measured at temperatures T = 278.15–323.15 K and pressure p = 0.1 MPa with a laser monitoring dynamic technique by a synthetic method. The experimental data were regressed by the modified Apelblat equation, the general single model and the hybrid model. The experimental data are well correlated with the above models because the mean deviations (MDs) are less than 3.79%. The mole fraction solubility of valsartan increases with increase in temperature and enrichment in butanone content, while it decreases with increased mole fraction of isopropyl ether at constant temperature. In addition, thermodynamic studies, including Gibbs energy, entropy and enthalpy, were calculated by van’t Hoff analysis. The results showed that the dissolution of valsartan in mixed solvents is endothermic, spontaneous and entropy-driven.     

Solubility Parameter of Gatifloxacin and Its Correlation with Antibacterial Activity

The solubility parameter of gatifloxacin was calculated theoretically by Fedors’ method and also determined experimentally using the standard solubility method. The molar volume of gatifloxacin was determined experimentally by the flotation method. Three solvents, ethyl acetate, propylene glycol and water were used to prepare nine binary mixtures having different solubility parameter values varying from 8.9 to 23.4 H. The δ ₂ solubility parameter of gatifloxacin was found to be 12.4 H. The cumulative transport of gatifloxacin from the binary solvent mixtures (ethyl acetate–propylene glycol and propylene glycol–water) exhibited an inverse parabolic relationship to the solubility parameter of the solvent mixtures. Transport studies revealed that the extent of gatifloxacin rejection from solvent mixtures was dependent on its solubility parameter and system composition. In the selected organisms (bacteria), a minimum zone of inhibition was observed in a solvent mixture having the solubility parameter nearest to the solubility parameter of gatifloxacin. Two models were employed for the evaluation of the antibacterial activity of gatifloxacin in binary mixtures.     

Solubility, Dissolution Enthalpy and Entropy of Isoimperatorin in Ethanol?+?Water Solvent Systems from 288.2 to 328.2?K

The solubility of isoimperatorin in pure solvents and solvent mixtures was measured by UV spectrophotometry from 288.2 to 328.2?K. The solubility of isoimperatorin in binary ethanol and water solvent systems increases with temperature and with decrease of the mole fraction of water in the solvent mixture. The solubility data were correlated with a modified Apelblat equation. The enthalpy and entropy of dissolution of isoimperatorin were evaluated using the van??t Hoff equation.     

Solid–Liquid Equilibrium for the Ternary System 2-Methyl-4-Nitroaniline + 2-Methyl-6-Nitroaniline + Ethyl Acetate: Determination and Modelling

The solid–liquid phase equilibria for the ternary system 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline + 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline + ethyl acetate was determined experimentally by the method of isothermal solution saturation at temperatures of (293.15, 303.15 and 313.15) K under the pressure of 101.2 kPa. Based on the obtained solubility data, the isothermal phase diagrams of the system were constructed. At each temperature, there are two pure solid phases formed, which correspond to pure 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline and pure 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline, which was confirmed by Schreinemakers’ wet residue method and X-ray powder diffraction. The crystallization regions of pure 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline and pure 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline increased with decreasing temperature. The crystalline region of 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline was larger than that of 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline at a fixed temperature. The solubility data were correlated with the NRTL and Wilson models. The values of the root-mean-square deviations are 5.01 × 10^?3 for the NRTL model, and 6.43 × 10^?3 for the Wilson model. The solid–liquid equilibria, phase diagrams and the thermodynamic models for the ternary system can provide the foundation for separating 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline or 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline from its mixtures.     

A thermodynamic study on solubility and liquid−liquid phase behaviour for 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + cyclohexane + 1-butanol at three temperatures and pressure 101.3 kPa

This study demonstrates the course of solubility and (liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) for the system (cyclohexane + 1-butanol + 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol) at temperatures of (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K and pressure 101.3 kPa. The titration method was used to assess solubility (binodal) curves, while a direct analytical method to acquire tie lines.The consistency of the binodal curves and phase diagrams data were well calculated by Hand and Othmer–Tobias empirical equations. The NRTL and UNIQUAC thermodynamic models gave accurate tie-line values for the systems. Plait-point, distribution coefficient, solvent selectivity, and NRTL and UNIQUAC binary interaction parameters were obtained.The immiscibility region of the system decreases significantly with increasing temperature. The results present an overview of the high efficiency of liquid extraction using 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol as solvent to yield pure cyclohexane from its 1-butanol azeotrope mixture at ambient temperatures.     

Mixture designs for exploring class diversity and metabolite fingerprinting: an efficient column chromatographic strategy

The effects of four solvents, hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and their mixtures on the separation of metabolites in crude extracts of Erythrina speciosa Andrews leaves were investigated using two strategies for open column chromatography. The classical extraction procedure was compared with mobile phases prepared according to a mixture design in order to explore the effects of solvent interactions on metabolite separations. Principal component analysis was used to compare the UV spectra obtained from RP-HPLC-DAD and to estimate the number of independent factors contained in the chromatographic data of the extracts. The results showed that, in addition to solvent polarity, solvent mixtures play an important role in metabolite separation. When pure solvents are used, larger groups of similar spectra are observed in the factor analysis score graphs indicating the same or a limited number of metabolite classes. In contrast solvent mixtures produced score graphs with a larger number of clusters indicating greater metabolic diversity. Besides resulting in more peaks than the pure solvents the chromatographic data of the design mixtures resulted in larger numbers of significant principal components confirming the greater chemical diversity of their extracts. Thus, if the objective of an analysis is to obtain metabolites of the same class, one should use pure solvents. On the other hand, binary and ternary solvent mixtures are recommended for more efficient investigations of class diversity and richer metabolite fingerprints.     

Solubility measurement and modelling of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in nine organic solvents from T = (273.15 to 308.15) K and mixing properties of solutions

The solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, trichloromethane, isopropanol, acetone, toluene, ethyl acetate and butyl alcohol were obtained experimentally at temperatures ranging from (273.15 to 308.15) K under 0.1 MPa by using a gravimetric method. The solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in those solvents increases with an increase in temperature. The solubility values decrease according to the following order: acetone > (acetonitrile, ethyl acetate) > trichloromethane > toluene > methanol > ethanol > isopropanol > butyl alcohol. Three models, the modified Apelblat equation, Wilson and NRTL were used to correlate the solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in the solvents studied. The calculated solubility by the modified Apelblat equation provides better agreement than those evaluated by the other two models. The regressed results via the three models are all acceptable for the solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in the selected solvents. Furthermore, the mixing Gibbs energy, mixing enthalpy, and mixing entropy for per 1 mol of mixture of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene and solvents were calculated based on the Wilson model. The dissolution process of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in the selected solvents is spontaneous and exothermic.     

Solubility of 2,5-dimethylphenol and 3,4-dimethylphenol in binary solvent mixtures containing alcohols

Solubilities are reported for 3,4-dimethylphenol and 2,5-dimethylphenol in binary mixtures of ethyl acetate with alcohols (methanol, 1-butanol, 1-hexanol), as well as for 2,5-dimethylphenol in binary mixtures of hexane with 1-butanol. The results of these measurements are compared to those obtained from the predictions by the Wilson equation for the excess Gibbs free energy of mixing (G^E). Parameters in binary solute—solvent systems were regressed from solid—liquid equilibrium data, whereas for binary mixed solvents they were taken from literature data of vapour—liquid equilibrium as well as from solid—liquid equilibrium data in ternary mixtures for equimolar compositions of binary solvents. The systems containing 3,4-dimethylphenol—ethyl acetate+alcohol mixed solvents were found to exhibit a small synergistic effect of solubility.
