The solid–liquid equilibrium
of succinic acid in various
mass fractions of the glutaric acid + adipic acid + ethyl acetate
mixture and adipic acid in various mass fractions of the succinic
acid + glutaric acid + ethyl acetate mixture was measured by the dynamic
method within the temperature range of 299.12 to 343.56 K under atmospheric
pressure. The results show that the solubility of succinic acid and
adipic acid increases with the increasing temperature. The solubility
of succinic acid in ethyl acetate increases with the increase of mass
fraction of glutaric acid and adipic acid in the mixed solvent at
the same temperature. Similarly, the solubility of adipic acid in
ethyl acetate also increases with the increase of mass fraction of
succinic acid and glutaric acid in the mixed solvent. The experimental
data of solubility were correlated by the Apelblat equation, the Wilson
equation, and nonrandom two-liquid equation. All equations can be
well applied, and the Apelblat equation has the better fitting effect.
In addition, the thermodynamic properties of the mixing processes
in the ternary and quaternary mixed system were calculated based on
the nonrandom two-liquid model, including the mixing enthalpy, the
mixing entropy, and the mixing Gibbs free energy.
