Abstract
The division of the well-known solubility parameter into its dispersion, polar, and hydrogen-bonding components has significantly upgraded its capacity and usefulness in the screening and selection of the appropriate solvents in Industry and in Laboratory. This work presents a new statistical thermodynamic approach for the estimation of these partial components over a broad range of temperature and pressure. Key to this approach is the development of explicit expressions for the contribution of dispersion, dipolar, and hydrogen-bonding interactions to the potential energy of the fluid. The approach is applicable to ordinary solvents, to supercritical fluids, as well as to high polymers. Information on various thermodynamic properties of fluids is used in order to estimate the three solubility parameter components. Extensive tables with the key parameters are presented. On the other hand, available information on these separate components is exploited in order to extract information for the thermodynamic behaviour of the fluids over an extended range of external conditions.
