A whole set of literature data on phase equilibria, vapor‐liquid equilibria, VLE, liquid‐liquid equilibria, LLE, and solid‐liquid equilibria, SLE, and on molar excess Gibbs energies, GE, molar excess enthalpies, HE and on activity coefficients at infinite dilution for phenol + organic solvents mixtures are examined in terms of the DISQUAC group contribution model. The interchange coefficients for OH(phenol)/aromatic; OH(phenol)/aliphatic and for OH(phenol)/C6H12 interactions are reported.
DISQUAC yields a good representation of VLE, GE and HE, as well as of the temperature dependence of GE. DISQUAC predictions on SLE are similar to those encountered in other alcoholic solutions previously investigated, and are slightly worse than those given by the mean association number theory. LLE data are critically reviewed. The necessity of different third interchange coefficients for the OH(phenol)/aliphatic interactions in the series phenol + n‐alkanes for the longer n‐alkanes in order to improve LLE predictions is discussed. The larger discrepancies are found when predicting activity coefficients at infinite dilution.
