Objective:
This project will exhaustively compile and critically evaluate published
solubility data for binary and higher systems of nitriles C+3 with all
other components.
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:
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. Under the direction
of the Subcommittee on Solubility and Equilibrium Data (SSED) of the
Analytical Chemistry Division, the SDP has focused on five subject areas
of wide importance.
The systems to be covered by this project fit into one of these priority
areas, Solubility Related to Industrial Processes. Nitriles it is possible
to use as solvents of extractive distillation for separation of homologues
(water + benzonitrile + alcohols (ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol)
and for separation of the higher aromatic and paraffin hydrocarbons
(2-methoxypropanenitrile + 2-methylnaphthalene + hexadecane).
As the chemical process industry seeks more efficient and less energy-intensive
separation techniques, liquid-liquid extraction based on selective solubilities
are becoming more common.
