SOLUBILITY OF ANTHRACENE IN (BINARY ALCOHOL PLUS 2-BUTOXYETHANOL) SOLVENT MIXTURES

Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in eig ht binary mixtures containing 2-butoxyethanol with 1-propanol, 2-propa nol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 1-octanol, 1-pentanol, 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 combi ned Nearly Ideal Binary Solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister equation and Mod ified Wilson model. For the eight systems studied, both equations were found to provide an accurate mathematical representation of the exper imental data, with an overall average absolute deviation between measu red and calculated values being on the order of 0.9 per cent or less.
