Mr. Rodriguez et al., STUDY OF MOLAR VOLUME AND REFRACTION OF TRIGLYCERIDE (TRIACETI, TRIBUTYRIN OR TRICAPRYLIN) ALCOHOL (ETHANOL, 1-BUTANOL OR 1-HEXANOL) MIXTURES, Grasas y aceites, 43(6), 1992, pp. 322-329
Values of molar retraction for every studied mixtures show linear plot
s versus molar fractions of triglyceride. Values of molar volume show
this behaviour, but only for tributyrin-butanol or tricaprylin-butanol
miscellas However, in triburyrin-ethanol mixtures, volume contraction
s have been found, whereas triacetin-butanol and tributyrin-hexanol sn
ow volume expansions. These facts are related to the mode of being str
uctured of the alcohol and triglyceride molecules in mixtures. A linea
r relationship between molar volume and temperature have been found, a
nd also a linear dependence between the coefficient of thermal expansi
on at constant pressure and the molar fraction of triglyceride.
