The Research and Measurement about the Solubility of l-Serine in Eight Common Pure Solvents and Four Binary Mixed Solvents for T = (278.15–333.15) K

In the study, the solubility of l-serine were measured in eight common pure solvents and binary mixed solvents (acetonitrile + water, isopropanol + water, methanol + water, and acetone + water) from 278.15 to 333.15 K under atmospheric pressure by gravimetric method (acetone was measured from 278.15 to 328.15 K). The solubility of l-serine increases with increasing temperature, and the order in eight common pure solvents is water > acetonitrile > methanol > acetone > ethyl acetate > ethanol > n-butanol > isopropanol. In binary mixed solvents, the solubility of l-serine is dependent on temperature and solvent composition. Also, the solubility of l-serine increases with increasing temperature, and it decreases as the concentration of acetonitrile, isopropanol, methanol, or acetone increases at a constant temperature. The experimental data in eight pure solvents were fitted by the modified Apelblat model, Buchowski–Ksiazaczak λh model. The modified Apelblat equation, combined nearly ideal binary solvent/Redlich–Kister (CNIBS/R–K) model, and Jouyban–Acree model were used to correlate the experimental data in four binary solvents. Among the four models, the modified Apelblat model is more suitable with a higher accuracy than the other three models. The experimental data can be used to optimize the industrial manufacturing process of l-serine.
