Measurement and Correlation for Solubility of Adipic Acid in Several Solvents

Using a laser detecting system, solubility data were measured for adipic acid dissolved in six pure solvents, namely, cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol, acetic acid, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and dimethylsulfoxide at the temperature range from 293.15K to 353.15K. All these data were regressed by λh, NRTL, Wilson, and the modified Wilson models. For the study of six, Δh, NRTL, and the modified Wilson models were found to provide an accurate mathematical representation of the experimental results, with overall average absolute relative deviations between measured and calculated values as 1.74%, 2.06%, and 3.06%, respectively. The results showed that the Δh model is the most suitable for description of the solid-liquid equilibrium containing adipic acid.
