Abstract

In this study, the solubility of L-histidine in three different binary solvents, including (water+acetone), (water+ethanol) and (water+2-propanol), was measured over temperatures from 283.15K to 318.15K by employing a gravimetric method at atmospheric pressure. It was found that the solubility of L-histidine in the binary mixed solvents increases with the increasing temperature at a given solvent composition, whereas it decreases with the rise of mole fraction of organic solvents. The experimental results were well correlated by the modified Apelblat equation, CNIBS/R-K model, combined version of the Jouyban-Acree model and NRTL model, respectively. This shows that these models can correlate the solubility in three binary mixed solvents accurately. Furthermore, the mixing thermodynamic properties of L-histidine in different binary solvent mixtures were also calculated based on the NRTL model. The result indicates that the mixing process of L-histidine is endothermic and spontaneous.
