Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data are reported for dimethyl carbonate + n-decane, + n-dodecane, + n-tetradecane, or + n-hexadecane at atmospheric pressure, between 277 K and the upper critical temperatures. The solubility curve of pure solid n-hexadecane In liquid dimethyl carbonate Is also presented. The coexistence curves are very asymmetrical with respect to mole fraction, the asymmetry Increasing with the size of the n-alkane The critical solution points vary almost linearly with the number of carbon atoms of the n-alkane. The data are used In the framework of regular solution theory to obtain the solublHty parameter of dimethyl carbonate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
