The
solubility data of fosfomycin sodium (FOM-Na) in six pure solvents
(methanol, ethanol, propanol, cyclohexane, acetone, N,N-dimethylformamide) and two binary solvents (methanol
+ ethanol, methanol + acetone) at temperatures ranging from 283.15
to 323.15 K were measured by a laser monitoring dynamic method at
atmospheric pressure. It turned out that the solubility data decreased
with increasing temperature, and also varies with the composition
of the solvents. Moreover, the experimental data in pure solvents
have been correlated with two thermodynamic models (i.e., modified
Apelblat and van’t Hoff), and the data in binary solvents have
been correlated with CNIBS/R-K equation and two modified versions
of Jouyban–Acree models (Van’t-JA equation and Apel-JA
equation), respectively. All the results showed a good agreement with
the experimental data. Intermolecular interaction force and dielectric
constants are introduced to explain the relationship between solubility
and temperature. In addition, the analysis of the solubilities implies
that higher temperature may destroy the forces between the solvent
and solute molecules, leading to lower solubility. And this can give
a guide to the design and optimization of the crystallization process
of FOM-Na in the industry.
