Abstract
The recommended solubilities taken from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry/National Institute of Standards and Technology (IUPAC-NIST) Solubility Data Series were used as testing data for the prediction of the solubilities in water systems of alkanes, arenes, and alkanols with various versions of unified functional activity coefficient (UNIFAC) and analytical solution of groups (ASOG) methods. It was strongly confirmed that parameters aimed at the prediction of vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) are not applicable for predictions of liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) in the water systems. The average relative error of the predicted solubility for alkane–water systems is equal to hundreds or even thousands of percent. For arene–water and alkanol–water systems it is usually about 100 %. Much better accuracy can be obtained with parameters adjusted to the solubility data. The UNIFAC version developed by Voutsas and Tassios, VT-UNIFAC, predicts mutual solubilities in alkane–water systems with an ave...
