The recommended liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for 32 binary n-alkane, isoalkane, and cycloalkane–water systems have been obtained after critical evaluation of all data (345 data sets) reported in the open literature up to the end of 2002. The evaluation of the alkane solubility data was based on a generalized equation, which allows prediction of the alkane solubility as a function of temperature. Using the predicted alkane solubilities the concentration of water in the alkane rich phase was calculated. The LLE calculations were performed with the equation of state appended with a chemical term (EoSC) proposed by Góral. The experimental solubilities of water in various alkanes were compared to each other and to the calculated values. The recommended data are presented in the form of individual pages containing tables, all the references, and optionally figures.

The mutual solubilities and related liquid-liquid equilibria of C 10 hydrocarbons with water are exhaustively and critically reviewed. Reports of experimental determination of solubility in 20 chemically distinct binary systems that appeared in the primary literature prior to end of 2002 are compiled. For ten systems sufficient data are available to allow critical evaluation. All data are expressed as mass percent and mole fraction as well as the originally reported units. In addition to the standard evaluation criteria used throughout the Solubility Data Series, a new method based on the evaluation of the all experimental data for a given homologous series of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons was used.

The recommended liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for 21 binary alkylbenzene–water systems have been obtained after critical evaluation of all data (392 data sets) reported in the open literature up to the middle of 2003. An equation for prediction of the alkylbenzene solubilities was developed. The predicted alkylbenzene solubilities were used for calculation of water solubility in the second liquid phase. The LLE calculations were done with the equation of state appended with a chemical term proposed by Góral. The recommended data were presented in the form of individual pages containing tables, all the references, and optionally figures.

The recommended liquid-liquid equilibrium ͑LLE͒ data for 19 binary 1-alkanol-water systems have been obtained after critical evaluation of all data ͑527 data sets͒ reported in the open literature up to the end of 2004. An equation for prediction of the 1-alkanol solubility was developed. The predicted 1-alkanol solubility was used for calculation of water solubility in the second liquid phase. The LLE calculations were done with the equation of state appended with a chemical term proposed by Góral. The recommended data were presented in the form of individual pages containing tables and all the references.
