Solubilities of Succinic Acid in Acetic Acid plus Water Mixtures and Acetic Acid plus Cyclohexane Mixtures
The solubilities of succinic acid in acetic acid + water solvent mixtures at (303.2 to 333.2) K and acetic acid + cyclohexane solvent mixtures at (303.2 to 343.2) K were determined. It was found that the solubility of succinic acid in acetic acid + cyclohexane mixtures increases with increasing mass fraction of acetic acid at constant temperature. However, for the system of acetic acid + water solvent mixtures, acetic acid with the mass fraction of 0.20 shows the best dissolving capacity for succinic acid. The experimental data were well-correlated with universal quasi-chemical (UNIQUAC) equations, and the solubilities calculated by the model were in good agreement with experimental data.
