Measurement and correlation of the solubility of MnSO4·H2O in 2-propanol + water + MgSO4·7H2O solutions

Data on the solubility of manganese sulphate monohydrate in water, and in aqueous alcohols is essential for salting-out crystallization studies. The solubilities of the quaternary system MnSO4·H2O + MgSO4·7H2O + H2O + (CH3)2CHOH were determined in the temperature range 293.2–313.2 K over the 2-propanol mole fraction range of 0.00–0.07. The solubility data were used for modelling with the modified extended electrolyte non-random two-liquid (NRTL) equation. The present extension uses ion-specific parameters instead of the electrolyte-specific NRTL binary interaction parameters. This approach has feasibility for many electrolytes and mixed aqueous solution systems in principle. The model was found to correlate the solubility data satisfactorily.
