Solid–Liquid Equilibrium Behavior and Thermodynamic Analysis of Dibenzoylmethane in Different Pure and Binary Solvent Systems from 278.15 to 318.15 K

Experimental solubility data of dibenzoylmethane (DBM) in three pure solvents (ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, methylbenzene) and three binary solvents (methanol + water, ethanol + water, and isopropyl alcohol + water) were measured by the gravimetric method from 278.15 to 318.15 K under atmospheric pressure. The experimental results showed that the solubility of DBM increased with the increase of temperature. Moreover, the solubility of DBM was temperature-dependent when the type and composition of solvents remained unchanged. The solubility of DBM decreased with the increase of solvent polarity because the molecular structure of DBM was not conducive to the formation of hydrogen bonds between solute and solvent molecules. The solubilities of DBM were correlated by the modified Apelblat equation, the van’t Hoff equation, the λh equation, and the NRTL equation. The modified Apelblat model produced the best fitting results among these models.
