ABSTRACT: The solubilities of succinic acid in binary cyclohexanone + cyclohexanol solvent mixtures at 304.25−354.65 K, in binary cyclohexane + cyclohexanol solvent mixtures at 300.15−346.15 K, in binary cyclohexane + cyclohexanone solvent mixtures at 297.65−351.25 K, and in ternary cyclohexanol + cyclohexanone + cyclohexane solvent mixtures at 306.95− 343.15 K were determined by the synthetic method at atmospheric pressure. The experimental solubility data in binary solvent mixtures were correlated by the Apelblat equation and nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient model, and the calculated solubility data by the models have a good agreement with the experimental data. Then, the solubilities of succinic acid in ternary cyclohexanol + cyclohexanone + cyclohexane solvent mixtures were predicted by the NRTL model and compared with the experimental solubility data. Finally, the solubilities of succinic acid in the three studied binary solvent mixtures were compared with the solubilities of glutaric acid and adipic acid in the same solvent systems at 303.15−343.15 K. The result shows that in the three studied solvent mixtures, glutaric acid with an odd number of carbon atoms is much more soluble than succinic acid and adipic acid with an even number of carbon atoms. The reasons for this “odd−even effect” phenomenon are the interlayer packing of molecule chains and the twist of the carbon chains. measured.9,10 However, for succinic acid, few related solubility data are reported in the literatures. In this work, the solubilities of succinic acid in binary cyclohexanone + cyclohexanol, cyclohexane + cyclohexanol, cyclohexane + cyclohexanone solvent mixtures, and in ternary cyclohexanol + cyclohexanone + cyclohexane solvent mixtures were measured by the synthetic method, and the experimental data in binary solvent mixtures were correlated by the Apelblat equation and NRTL model. The solubilities of succinic acid in ternary cyclohexanol + cyclohexanone + cyclohexane solvent mixtures were predicted by the NRTL model. Then, the comparisons for the solubilities of succinic acid, glutaric acid, and adipic acid in the three aforementioned binary solvent mixtures at 303.15− 343.15 K were made. The differences among the three diacids were disscussed in detail.

1. INTRODUCTION Adipic acid has an important role in the chemical production and organic synthesis industry, and is an indispensable raw material for nylon-66, polyurethane, plasticizers, and lubricants, etc. It is conventionally produced by a two-step oxidation of cyclohexane with the use of nitric acid as the oxidant. Although this method is relatively mature, the complicated process and envioronmental pollution of nitrogen oxide do not meet the requirements of green chemistry. Thus, the direct oxidation of cyclohexane to adipic acid has drawn a lot of attention.1−3 For this method, oxygen is used as the oxidant and the nonsolvent system is preferred. In the oxidation process, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone are the intermediates, adipic acid is the main product and the major byproducts are glutaric acid and succinic acid. The reacted mixtures mainly include adipic acid, glutaric acid, succinic acid, cyclohexane, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. To separate adipic acid with a high purity, crystallization is a common and effective method.4 To improve the purification of adipic acid, the solubilities of adipic acid, glutaric acid, and succinic acid in the cyclohexane oxidation system become essential for the proper design and control of the operation conditions. Recently, the solubilities of glutaric acid in cyclohexanone + cyclohexanol solvent mixtures and the solubilities of adipic acid in cyclohexanone + cyclohexanol and cyclohexane + cyclohexanol solvent mixtures have been studied and reported.5−8 In our previous work, the solubilities of glutaric acid and adipic acid in binary cyclohexanone + cyclohexanol, cyclohexane + cyclohexanol, and cyclohexane + cyclohexanone solvent mixtures were © XXXX American Chemical Society

2.2. Apparatus and Procedures. The solubilities of succinic acid in the solvent systems were measured by the synthetic method, which was described in detail in the references.11−15 The experimental apparatus consists mainly of a 125 cm3 solid− liquid equilibrium cell with a reflux condenser, a magnetic stirring system, a temperature controlling and monitoring system, and a laser transmitting and receiving system. A type AL204 electronic analytical balance, produced by Mettler Toledo instrument Co. Ltd., was applied to measure the mass of succinic acid and solvents. In each experiment, a certain amounts of succinic acid and solvent were weighed accurately and put into the equilibrium cell. Then, the solute−solvent mixture was heated in a thermostatic water bath with stirring continuously by the magnetic agitator. The solution temperature monitored by the thermocouple increased at a slow rate of 2.5 K·h−1 by controlling the temperature of water bath heating. Especially close to solid−liquid equilibrium, the rate of the solution temperature increase was kept at less than 0.2 K·h−1. During the experiments, the laser transmitting and receiving system was applied to monitor the points of solid−liquid equilibrium. When a steady laser beam passed through the solute− solvent mixture, the succinic acid particles would scatter it. Thus, the laser beam intensity, received by a laser power meter and recorded by a computer, would be lower. With the solution temperature rising, the succinic acid particles decreased gradually, and the received laser beam intensity increased gradually. When the succinic acid particles dissolved completely, the received laser beam intensity reached the maximum and remained stable. The corresponding temperature at this point is solid−liquid equilibrium temperature for the given composition. In this work, the esterification reaction of succinic acid and cyclohexanol could be negligible in the course of the experiment because there was no catalyst and enough time according the research,16 and the solubility S was defined as the mass of solute succinic acid in 100 g of solvent., which could be expressed as 1. m S = 1 × 100 m2 (1)

Standard uncertainties u are u(T) = 0.15 K, ur(p) = 0.05, ur(S) = 0.04, ur(w2) = 0.01. The solubility S is defined as the mass of solute succinic acid (1) in 100 g of solvent. w2 is the mass fraction of cyclohexanone in binary cyclohexanone (3) + cyclohexanol (4) solvent mixtures. Sc1 and RD1 represent the correlated solubility data by the Apelblat equation and the relative deviation between the correlated and experimental solubilities, respectively; Sc2 and RD2 represent the correlated solubility data by the NRTL model and the relative deviation between the correlated and experimental solubilities, respectively.

between experimental data and literature data,17,18,20 which proves that the experimental device and experimental results are considerably reliable and accurate. However, for pure cyclohexanol solvent, it can be seen from Figure 2 that the experimental solubilities data are not in excellent accord with the literature data17−19 in low temperature. The deviations could be caused by the following aspects. Cyclohexanol appears solid below the melting point of 299.08 K. The solubilities of succinic acid in cyclohexanol were measured from 291.85 K17,18 and 293.15 K19 in the literature, respectively, which might result in the deviations. In Figure 2, it was also found that the deviations decreased gradually with increasing temperature in cyclohexanol. To further check the accuracy of the experimental results, the solubilities of succinic acid in acetic acid were measured and compared to the literature data.2,17,21,22 The results

were depicted in Figure 3. The averaged relative deviation between the experimental solubilities data and the literature data was 0.77%. It could be seen that the experimental data in pure cyclohexanone and acetic acid solvents agree well with the related literature from Song17,18 and other researchers,2,20−22 which further proves that the experimental results are reliable. 3.2. Experimental Results. The solubilities of succinic acid in binary cyclohexanone + cyclohexanol solvent mixtures at 304.25−354.65 K, in binary cyclohexane + cyclohexanol solvent mixtures at 300.15−346.15 K, and in binary cyclohexane + cyclohexanone solvent mixtures at 297.65−351.25 K are listed in Tables 2−4 and scattered in Figures 4−6, where S is the mass of succinic acid in 100 g of solvent. It was found that the solubilities of succinic acid in the three studied solvent mixtures increase gradually with increasing temperature at constant C

solvent composition. When the temperature is constant, the solubilities of succinic acid in binary cyclohexane + cyclohexanol and cyclohexane + cyclohexanone solvent mixtures increase gradually with decreasing mass fraction of cyclohexane in solvent mixtures. However, the solvent composition has a different effect on the solubilities of succinic acid in cyclohexanone + cyclohexanol solvent mixtures. The solubilities of succinic acid in cyclohexanone + cyclohexanol solvent mixtures at 303.15−343.15 K were scattered in Figure 7, which were

It can be seen that within the studied solvent composition range, cyclohexanone with a mass fraction at 0.4 in solvent mixtures has the best dissolving capacity for succinic acid below 323.15 K, which suggests that there exists a maximum-solubility effect.23 While above 323.15 K the maximum solubility for succinic acid appears when the mass fraction of cyclohexanone in solvent mixtures is 0.2. 3.3.

were measured and reported in our previous work.9,10 In this work, the solubilities of glutaric acid and adipic acid in the three studied solvent mixtures at 303.15−343.15 K were calculated by the reported Apelblat model parameters.9,10 The comparisons for succinic acid, glutaric acid, and adipic acid in different solvent mixtures were made, and the results are scattered in Figures 8−10. The results of comparisons display that in the three studied solvent mixtures, glutaric acid with an odd number of carbon atoms is much more soluble than succinic acid and adipic acid with an even number of carbon atoms. This phenomenon is called odd−even effect, which was first proposed by Baeyer.31 The odd−even alternating phenomenon is related to the physical properties of the solid state but not to the liquid state.32 Thus, it is considered that the crystal structure is the reason for odd−even effect. The adjacent dicarboxylic acid molecules are linked in an end-to-end manner by hydrogen bonds such as Ο−Η···Ο generated between the carboxyl groups, which was depicted by the parallelogram-trapezoid model.33 For succinic acid and adipic acid with a parallelogram pattern, the gaps between the interlayers of molecule chains can be eliminated by offset packing. However, the molecules chains of glutaric acid are packed in the form of trapezium and the gaps between the interlayers are unavoidable. As a result, the molecular configurations of succinic acid and adipic acid are more compact than that of glutaric acid. At the same time, the solvent molecules are more likely to remain between the glutaric acid molecules during the dissolution process. Therefore, glutaric acid has greater solubilities in the three studied systems than succinic acid and adipic acid. In addition, the carbon chains of glutaric acid molecules are twisted in order to reduce the mutual repulsion of the two carboxyl groups and the adjacent methylene groups are not a completely stable staggered conformation.34 The carboxyl groups are not in the same plane as the methylene groups. By contrast, the methylene groups of succinic acid and adipic acid molecules are a staggered conformation and the mutual repulsion of the carboxyl groups are avoided by the chains sliding, which further proves that the crystal structure of succinic acid and adipic acid is more stable than that of glutaric acid. The torsion energy of glutaric acid molecules caused by carbon chain twisting can be released in the dissolution process and lowers the heat of solution.21,34 Thus, glutaric acid is much more soluble than succinic acid and adipic acid.

To check the predictability and reliability of the NRTL model and parameters, the solubilities of succinic acid in ternary cyclohexanol + cyclohexanone + cyclohexane solvent mixtures at 306.95−343.15 K were predicted by the obtained NRTL binary interaction parameters listed in Table 6 by using eq 6, where αij was also the constant 0.3.30 The comparisons between the predicted data and the experimental data are listed in Table 7. The results also show that the calculated data agree
