Determination and correlation of solubility of tylosin tartrate in alcohol mixtures

• The solubility of tylosin tartrate in selected solvents has been obtained in this work.
• The results show that the three models agree well with the experimental data.
• The modified Apelblat model were more accurate than λh model and van’t Hoff model.
• The dissolution enthalpy and entropy of tylosin tartrate were calculated from the solubility data.

Data on (solid + liquid) equilibrium of tylosin tartrate in {methanol + (ethanol, 1-propanol or 2-propanol)} solvents will provide essential support for industrial design and further theoretical studies. In this study, the solubility of tylosin tartrate in alcohol mixtures was measured over temperature range from (278.15 to 323.15) K under atmospheric pressure by a gravimetric method. From the experimental results, the solubility of tylosin tartrate in selected solvents noted above was found to increase with increasing temperature and mass fraction of methanol. The solubility data were correlated with the modified Apelblat equation, the λh equation and van’t Hoff equation. The results showed that the three equations agreed well with the experimental values, and that the modified Apelblat equation was more accurate than the λh equation and van’t Hoff equation. Further, the standard enthalpy, standard entropy and standard Gibbs free energy of solution of tylosin tartrate in mixed solvents were calculated according to solubility results, model parameters with modified Apelblat equation and van’t Hoff equation.

Data on (solid + liquid) equilibrium of tylosin tartrate in {methanol + (ethanol, 1-propanol or 2-propanol)} solvents was measured over temperature range from (278.15 to 323.15) K under atmospheric pressure by a gravimetric method. From the experimental results, it can be seen that solubility of tylosin tartrate increases with increasing mass fraction of methanol in mixed solvents at a constant temperature, and increases with increasing temperature at the same mass fraction. The solubility of tylosin tartrate in methanol is higher than in methanol mixture solvents, and in 2-propanol is the lowest. The solubility data were correlated well with modified Apelblat equation, λh equation and van’t Hoff equation, and that modified Apelblat equation was more accurate than λh equation and van’t Hoff equation. Further, the standard enthalpy, standard entropy and standard Gibbs free energy of solution of tylosin tartrate in mixed solvents were calculated according to solubility data and model parameters with modified Apelblat equation and van’t Hoff equation.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
