Solubility of Anthracene in Binary Alkane + 3-Methoxy-1-Butanol Solvent Mixtures at 298.2 K

Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in seven binary alkane+3-methoxy-1-butanol solvent mixtures at 25°C. The alkane cosolvents studied were hexane, heptane, octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and tert-butylcyclohexane (also called (1,1-dimethylcyclohexane). Results of these measurements are used to test two mathematical representations based upon the combined Nearly Ideal Binary Solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister and Modified Wilson equations. For the seven systems studied, both equations were found to provide an accurate mathematical representation of the experimental data, with an overall average absolute deviation between measured and calculated values being 0.6% and 0.9% for the Combined NIBS/Redlich-Kister and Modified Wilson equations, respectively.
