Solubility of Anthracene in Binary Alcohol Plus 1,4-Dioxane Solvent Mixtures
Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in seven binary mixtures containing 1,4-dioxane with 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 1-octanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, and 3-methyl-1-butanol at 25 degrees C. Results of these measurements are used to test two mathematical representations based upon the combined nearly ideal binary solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister equation and modified Wilson model. For the systems studied, the three-parameter combined NIBS/Redlich-Kister equation was found to provide the better mathematical representation, with an overall average absolute deviation between experimental and calculated values being on the order of 0.6%.
