Solubilities of anthracene, fluoranthene and pyrene in organic solvents: Comparison of calculated values using UNIFAC and modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) models with experimental data and values using the mobile order theory

TLDR
In this paper, the authors used both UNIFAC and Modified UNAC (Dortmund) models to estimate the activity coefficient of anthracene in 43 organic solvents, fluoranthene and pyrene.
Abstract
The solubility of anthracene in 43 organic solvents, fluoranthene (45 solvents) and pyrene (30 solvents) has been calculated using UNIFAC and Modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) models to estimate the activity coefficient of the solute. It was found that both UNIFAC and Modified UNIFAC described better the solubilities in polar solvents like alcohols, ketones, esters and ethers than in nonpolar solvents like alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. UNIFAC and the Mobile Order Theory supplement each other well in calculating the solubilities, which means that one can choose the right model depending on the solvent one is using.

Revision of MOSCED Parameters and Extension to Solid Solubility Calculations

TL;DR: In this article, the MOSCED model has been applied to solid−liquid equilibria correlation and compared with the experimental data available in the literature, and the correlation of solubility of 26 solids in organic solvents has an average absolute deviation of 25% This compares favorably to the prediction of the modified UNIFAC model.

Group‐contribution estimation of activity coefficients in nonideal liquid mixtures

TL;DR: In this article, a group-contribution method is presented for the prediction of activity coefficients in nonelectrolyte liquid mixtures, which combines the solution-of-functional-groups concept with a model for activity coefficients based on an extension of the quasi chemical theory of liquid mixture (UNIQUAC).
