ABSTRACT

The solubility of tris(3-hydroxypropyl)phosphine oxide (THPPO) in selected solvents was measured by a static analytic method over the temperature range from (293 to 328) K in methanol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, acetone, and a binary solvent mixture of ethanol + acetone. Several widely used thermodynamic models, such as the empirical equation and the Buchowski Ksiazaczak (?h), Scatchard Hildebrand, Wilson, nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL), and universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) equations were applied to represent the measurement results. The binary interaction parameters of the above models were found to have a linear dependency on temperature, and the coefficients were regressed. The results show that all of these models can satisfactorily reproduce the experimental data and the NRTL equation can provide the best correlation with an overall relative standard deviation of 0.46 %.
