Measurement and correlation of solid–liquid equilibria of Irganox 1010 with n-hexane

Solid–liquid equilibria (SLE) for the binary mixtures of Irganox 1010 with n-hexane have been measured using a method in which an excess amount of solute was equilibrated with the alkane solution. The liquid concentrations of the Irganox 1010 in the saturated solution were analyzed by UV spectrometry. Activity coefficients for Irganox 1010 have been calculated by means of the Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC models and with them were correlated solubility data that were compared with the experimental ones. The best correlation of the solubility data has been obtained by the Wilson model, by which the average root-mean-square deviation of temperature for the system is 0.33 K.
