Solid state co-crystallization of sugar alcohols measured with differential scanning calorimetry

Eutectic mixtures of sugar alcohols for thermal energy storage in the 50–90°C temperature range

“…6 and 7. Only three compositions were analyzed for the xylitol-sorbitol system because it has already been studied elsewhere [27]. XRPD results showed that no new phase was formed in the solid state.…”

“…Proposed phase diagram for the sorbitol-xylitol system (O: experimental inflection temperature of the 2nd endotherm (liquidus temperature); Δ: experimental liquidus temperature values published by[27]; ◊: experimental onset temperature of the 1st endotherm;; •: experimental inflection temperature of the 1st endotherm; -: predicted equilibrium temperatures using the Modified UNIFAC model).…”

Quantification of γ‐sorbitol crystal growth rate and solubility in the presence of mannitol and maltitol

“…The total amount of mannitol on a wet basis of the entire system was only 7.2%, some of which was probably still in the liquid phase. Past research has shown that mannitol did not exhibit separate melting endotherms from sorbitol when the sorbitol to mannitol ratio exceeded 90:10, so the absence of mannitol melting peaks in this experiment was not surprising (Gombas, Szabo-Revesz, Regdon Jr, & Eros, 2003;Perkkalainen, Halttunen, & Pitkanen, 1995).…”

Modelling Phase Equilibria in Systems with Organic Solid Solutions

“…Reports on the formation of alloys, or solid solutions, of organic compounds, although still rare, have been appearing regularly in the last few years for aromatic compounds, such as substituted benzenes and naphtalenes [1][2][3], pyrene and anthracene [4][5][6], for carbohydrates [7], terpenes [8], neopentane derivatives [9-10] and fulerenes, besides solid solutions of C 60 with C 70 [11][12] solid solutions of C 60 in sulphur have been reported [13]. Nevertheless it is among the molecules with long n-alkyl chains such as n-alcohols Although the materials based on n-alkane alloys have been used for long as candles, waterproof coatings, pharmaceutical and cosmetics, and in spite of paraffin waxes being a valuable by-product of petroleum refining, the research on n-alkane solid solutions has been mainly prompted by its dark side: The damages and losses caused by wax precipitation from petroleum fluids.…”

Nevertheless it is among the molecules with long n-alkyl chains such as n-alcohols [14], fats [15], soaps [16] and alkanes [17][18][19][20] that solid solutions appear more frequently.…”
