Solid-liquid equilibrium data of organic nonelectrolyte systems are becoming increasingly important in the petroleum industry, particularly in light of present trends toward heavier feedstocks and known carcinogenicity/mutagenicity of many of the larger polycyclic aromatic compounds. Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in binary 1-octanol + 2-propanol, 2-butanol + 1-butanol, 1-octanol + 1-butanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol + 1-propanol, and 2-methyl-1-propanol + 1-butanol mixtures at 25 C, and for pyrene dissolved in binary solvent mixtures containing 2-ethyl-1-hexanol with 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 1-octanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, and 3-methyl-1-butanol at 26 C. Results of these measurements are used to test two mathematical representations based upon the combined nearly ideal binary solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister equation and modified Wilson model. For the 12 systems studied, the combined NIBS/Redlich-Kister equation was found to provide an accurate mathematical representation of the experimental data, with an overall average absolute deviation between measured and calculated values being on the order of 0.4%. Slightly larger deviations were noted in the case of the modified Wilson equation.
