Commentary on “Uncover the effect of solvent and temperature on solid-liquid equilibrium behavior of l-norvaline”

Several sets of reported curve-fit parameters reported by Wang and coworkers [J. Mol. Liq. 243 (2017) 273-284] for the Modified Apelblat model do not correctly back-calculate the observed solubility behavior of l-norvaline in the binary aqueous-alcohol solvent mixtures studied by the authors. Too much rounding is likely the reason for the failure of the curve-fit parameters to yield the back-calculated mole fraction solubilities that the authors reported in the published paper.
