Abstract
The solubilities of phthalic acid and o-toluic acid in binary acetic acid (HAc) + water and HAc + o-xylene solvent mixtures were measured by a dissolution temperature method at atmospheric pressure. The mole fractions of HAc in the corresponding solvent mixtures range from 0.00 to 1.00. The measured data show that, within the temperature range studied, the solubilities of phthalic acid and o-toluic acid increase with the increasing temperature at constant solvent composition and initially decrease with the decreasing mole fraction of HAc in HAc + o-xylene and HAc + water solvent mixtures at constant temperature, respectively. It also shows that, within the solvent composition range studied, the HAc + water solvent mixtures with the mole fraction of HAc at 0.5467 has the highest dissolving capacity for phthalic acid at constant temperature, and the highest solubility of o-toluic acid is obtained in HAc + o-xylene solvent mixtures with the mole fraction of HAc of 0.5408 at constant temperature.
