Solubility of anthracene in binary alkane + ethanol solvent mixtures at 298.15 K

IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series. 98. Solubility of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Pure and Organic Solvent Mixtures: Revised and Updated. Part 1. Binary Solvent Mixtures

“…Grubbs et al 35 reported the solubility of anthracene in 2,2,4-trimethylpentane + ethanol mixtures at 298.2 K, while Shayanfar et al 39 performed measurements at 298.2, 308.2, and 318.2 K. It is hard to compare the experimental values directly as the two sets of mole fraction solubilities in 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and ethanol differed by 9.5% and 8.9% relative percent, with the values determined by Shayanfar et al being consistently larger. Differences in chemical purities and experimental methodology can lead to slight differences in values reported by independent research groups.…”

“…Acree and co-workers [35][36][37][38] determined the solubility of anthracene in binary alkane + ethanol, alkane + 1-pentanol, alkane + 2-pentanol, alkane + 2-methyl-2-propanol, alkane + 2-methyl-2-butanol, and alkane + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol at 298.15 K. The alkane solvents included hexane, heptane, octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, and tert-butylcyclohexane. Except for the ethanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane solvent system, there has only been a single experimental determination for the solubility of anthracene in each of the binary solvent systems studied.…”

Solubility of anthracene in binary toluene + alcohol solvent mixtures at 298.15 K

“…These parameters are currently available for systems of anthracene and pyrene dissolved in more than 100 different binary organic solvent mixtures. As examples, curve-fit parameters were reported for anthracene dissolved in binary alkane þ ethanol [24], alkane þ 2-isopropoxyethanol [25], alkane þ 3-methoxy-1-butanol [26], alkane þ 2-butoxyethanol [27] and alkane þ 2-ethoxyethanol [28] solvent mixtures. The binary toluene þ alcohol systems are absent from the list.…”
