Objective:
This project will update and re-evaluate solubility data for all
alcohols with water. These systems were previously treated in Volume
15 of the Solubility Data Series, which was published in 1984 and is
now out of date and out of print. The results of this work will be prepared
in the standard format of the IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series for
publication in the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data
and for inclusion in a web-accessible database being prepared by the
US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Description:
Under the direction of the Subcommittee on Solubility and Equilibrium
Data (SSED) of the Analytical Chemistry Division, the IUPAC Solubility
Data Project (SDP) compiles and critically evaluates data on chemical
solubility and disseminates the resulting information to the widest
possible range of users by traditional (printed on paper) and electronic
(web-accessible database) means.
The systems to be covered by this project fit within the priority focus
area identified in the phantom proposal, Solubility Related to Industrial
Processes. Alcohol-water solubilities are important to many industrial
processes. Because of the importance of these systems they were treated
early in the SDP. The resulting volume (SDS 15) was published 20 years
ago and is now both out of date and out of print.
This project will update the previous volumes by compiling new data
from approximately 50 published sources and reevaluate all systems where
this is appropriate. The updated volume will include solubility data
for systems of benzyl alcohol and its derivatives with water, which
were omitted from Volume 15.
