Solubility of acenaphthene in pure non-aqueous solvents between 298.15 and 333.15 K

Abstract

Binary solid-liquid equilibria (SLE) for the systems acenaphthene +benzene, +methanol, +2-propanol, +2-methyl-propan-1-ol, +ethyl acetate, +methyl ethyl ketone, +acetone, +chloroform are reported in the temperature range of 298.15 K to 333.15 K. The predictive ability of UNIFAC model as applied to SLE data of these systems is evaluated by comparing with the experimental values using percent relative deviation (%RD). Scope for improvements in UNIFAC model is analyzed based on the application of this model to SLE involving polycyclic aromatic compounds.
