Solubility of Artemisinin in Different Single and Binary Solvent Mixtures Between (284.15 and 323.15) K and NRTL Interaction Parameters
The solubility of artemisnin in 12 different organic solvents, methanol, ethanol, butanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, acetonitrile, hexane, heptane, 2-butanone (MEK), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), and toluene, as well as in three binary solvent mixtures of ethyl acetate + ethanol, ethyl acetate + acetone, and ethanol + acetone, within the temperature range of (284.10 and 323.15) K, is obtained. The solubility data were fitted to the Two-Liquid-Non-Random (NRTL) activity coefficient equation to obtain the model binary interaction parameters, which were used to predict the solubility of artemisinin in ethyl acetate and acetone or ethanol binary solvent mixtures. The predicted values compared favorably with the experimental data.
