Updated Abraham model correlations for correlating solute transfer into dry butanone and dry cyclohexanone solvents

ABSTRACT

Updated Abraham solvation parameter model correlations are derived for describing the partitioning and solubility behaviour of organic nonelectrolyte solutes and inorganic gases in both anhydrous butanone and cyclohexanone solvents. The butanone and cyclohexanone correlations are based on data sets that contain 103 and 72 experimental data points, respectively. The derived correlations for butanone describe the experimental partitioning and solubility behaviour to within a standard deviation of 0.145 log units. A slightly smaller standard deviation of 0.135 was observed between the experimental and back-calculated values for the cyclohexanone solvent correlation equations.
