ABSTRACT: The solubility of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid in pure water, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, methanol, ethanol, and ethylene glycol were measured at the temperature range from 298 to 360 K. The order of solubility of 1,3,5benzenetricarboxylic acid was ethanol > methanol > ethylene glycol > isobutanol > isopropyl alcohol > water. In addition, the Apelblat equation was used to correlate the solubility with temperature in different solvents.



acid by cooling crystallization.3 The improvement and optimization of the crystallization process is important to obtain products with higher purity; therefore the precise and adequate solubility data are indispensable. Thus, solubility is always regarded as the critical data needed for the crystallization process development including the solvent selection, process optimization, etc. Unfortunately, no experimental solubility data of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid in organic solvents was reported, except for that in acetic acid−water.4 In this article, the solubilities of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid in different solvents were measured at temperatures from 298 to 360 K and correlated by the modified Apelblat model.

INTRODUCTION 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid is an important chemical intermediates, which is the primary downstream product of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene. The melting point of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid is 380 °C, and the molecular structure is given in Figure 1. 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid is widely used in



EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Materials. 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid with mass fraction purity higher than 99.5% was purchased from J&K Scientific Ltd. Methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, ethanol, and ethylene glycol were analytical grade reagents from Tianjin Guangfu Chemical Reagent Co., and distilled deionized water of HPLC grade was used. Detailed information on the materials was shown in Table 1. Apparatus and Procedure. The solubilities of 1,3,5benzenetricarboxylic acid in different solvents were measured by a synthetic method with a laser monitoring observation technique. The procedure and apparatus of the solubility measurement is the same as those in the literature.5,6 The laser monitoring system was made up of a laser generator, a photoelectric transformer, and a light intensity display. The laser beam penetrated the solution to detect the solid in it. The solution was placed in a jacketed glass vessel, in which the temperature was controlled through a water bath. The temperature was monitored by a mercury-in-glass thermometer

plastics, synthetic fiber, resin, plasticizer, fungicides, antiseptic, cross-linking agent, and reverse osmosis membrane materials.1 Especially, it has been extensively used as a kind of important organic ligands in the application of synthesis for metal organic frameworks (MOFs).2 The major production methods of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid are the potassium permanganate oxidation, the nitric acid oxidation, and the liquid phase oxidation by air. The first two methods have some obvious disadvantages, such as low reaction efficiency, large amount of wastewater and residue, strong corrosion, and high risk of operation. Usually, the liquid phase oxidation by air is the main industrial production process of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, with the advantage of lower production costs and higher selectivity and yield. The raw product of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid from the liquid phase oxidation by air needs to be purified by crystallization in an acetic acid−water binary solvent. However, the acetic acid−water solvent has an adverse impact on the corrosion of equipment. To overcome the shortcoming, ethanol was selected as the solvent to refine 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic © XXXX American Chemical Society

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Solubility of 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic Acid in Different Solvents. The solubility of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid in water, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, methanol, ethanol, and ethylene glycol at temperatures ranging from 298 to 360 K were presented in Figure 2, and the comparison of the solubility of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid in water between the literature7 and this work has been given in Figure 3.

with the uncertainty of ±0.01 K. During the experiment, a certain amount of solvents were introduced to the vessel, and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid was added after weighing. The solution was stirred continuously at the required temperature, and the dissolution of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid was examined by the laser beam penetrating the vessel. 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid was added slowly until it could not be dissolved completely, and the intensity of the laser beam penetrating the vessel reached the minimum, indicating that the solution was saturated. The total addition of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid was recorded. Thus, the molar fraction of the solubility x3 could be calculated by eq 1. At each composition and temperature, the measurement was repeated three times and the average values were used to calculate the solubility. And the composition of solvent mixtures w1 was defined as eq 2. x3 =

where m1 represents the mass of water, m2 represents the mass of organic solvents, m3 represents the mass of 1,3,5benzenetricarboxylic acid. M1, M2, and M3 are the molecular weight of water, organic solvents, and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, respectively. The relative standard uncertainty was less than 2% which was calculated from the standard deviations of repeated experimental measurements.

The experimental solubility of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid in pure solvents and ethanol−water binary solvents at different temperatures was correlated by the modified Apelblat model. The calculated values of solubility were listed in Table 2 and Table 3, and the values of the parameters (A, B, C) for the modified Apelblat model were listed in Table 4 and Table 5. It can be seen that the solubility data in different solvents could be described by the modified Apelblat model with higher accuracy at the temperature range from 298 to 360 K.



CONCLUSIONS The solubility of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid in different solvents were determined at temperatures from 298 to 360 K. The experimental data were correlated by the modified Apelblat model. The experimental results showed that the solubility of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid in different solvents increases with an increase in temperature. The correlation results illustrated that the modified Apelblat model was a proper model to describe the relationship between the solubility data of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and temperature. D
