The solubilities of adipic acid in acetic acid + water mixtures at (303.2 to 333.2) K and acetic acid + cyclohexane mixtures at (303.2 to 343.2) K are measured. The measured solubility of adipic acid in acetic acid + cyclohexane mixtures with the mass fraction of acetic acid in the solvent mixtures at (0.1 to 1.0) decreases with increasing mass fraction of cyclohexane at constant temperature. However, for the solubility of adipic acid in acetic acid + water with the mass fraction of acetic acid in the solvent mixtures at (0 to 1.0), acetic acid with a mass fraction of 50 % has the best dissolving capacity for adipic acid at constant temperature. The experimental data was correlated by the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient model, and the values of the solubilities calculated using the model showed good agreement with the experimental observations.

The solubilities of succinic acid in acetic acid + water solvent mixtures at (303.2 to 333.2) K and acetic acid + cyclohexane solvent mixtures at (303.2 to 343.2) K were determined. It was found that the solubility of succinic acid in acetic acid + cyclohexane mixtures increases with increasing mass fraction of acetic acid at constant temperature. However, for the system of acetic acid + water solvent mixtures, acetic acid with the mass fraction of 0.20 shows the best dissolving capacity for succinic acid. The experimental data were well-correlated with universal quasi-chemical (UNIQUAC) equations, and the solubilities calculated by the model were in good agreement with experimental data.

By using the synthetic method, the solubilities of benzoic acid in binary methylbenzene + benzyl alcohol solvent mixtures at (301.05 to 355.65) K and in binary methylbenzene + benzaldehyde solvent mixtures at (301.05 to 354.45) K were determined at atmospheric pressure. The studied mass fractions of benzyl alcohol and benzaldehyde in the corresponding binary solvent mixtures range from 0.0 to 1.0. It was found that the measured solubilities increase with the increase of temperature at constant solvent composition. For the ternary system benzoic acid + methylbenzene + benzyl alcohol, the results show that the binary methylbenzene + benzyl alcohol solvent mixture with the mass fraction of benzyl alcohol at 0.80 has the best dissolving capacity for benzoic acid at constant temperature. However, for the ternary system benzoic acid + methylbenzene + benzaldehyde, the results show that the binary methylbenzene + benzaldehyde solvent mixture with the mass fraction of benzaldehyde of 0.20 has the best dissolving capacity for benzoic acid at constant temperature. The experimental data were correlated by both the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) and the Apelblat equations, and the correlated solubilities agree satisfactorily with the experimental observations. By coupling the Apelblat equation with the Clark and Glew equation, the thermodynamic functions for the two studied solid−liquid equilibrium systems, including dissolution enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs energy, and isobaric heat capacity, were calculated and discussed.
