Solid–Liquid Phase Equilibria of Ternary Mixtures Containing 1,2‑Dihydroacenaphthylene and Dibenzofuran

Abstract

Ternary phase diagram data of 1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene-dibenzofuran mixtures in a series of alcohols, including methanol, ethanol, propan-2-ol, propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, and pentan-1-ol were measured using a dynamic method at 308.15 and 313.15 K. The experimental data were correlated with the Wilson model (including pseudobinary systems), UNIQUAC model, and NRTL model. The results indicate that pseudobinary systems with the Wilson equation give a better description of the solubility of the ternary system. The eutectic point shifts toward dibenzofuran when the more polar methanol and ethanol are used. This shift may help achieve a more efficient separation of 1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene and dibenzofuran
