SOLUBILITY OF ANTHRACENE IN BINARY ALCOHOL PLUS 2-METHOXYETHYL ETHER SOLVENT MIXTURES

Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in sev en binary mixtures containing 2-methoxyethyl ether with 1-propanol, 2- propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-pentanol, 4-methyl-2-pentan ol, and 1-octanol at 25 degrees C. Results of these measurements are u sed to test two mathematical representations based upon the combined n early ideal binary solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister equation and modified Wilson model. For the seven systems studied, both equations were foun d to provide an accurate mathematical representation of the experiment al data, with an overall average absolute deviation between measured a nd calculated values being 1.1% and 0.8% for the combined NIBS/Redlich -Kister and modified Wilson equations, respectively.
