Thermodynamic Properties and Solubility of Sodium and Potassium Chloride in Ethane-1,2-diol/Water Mixed Solvent Systems to High Temperatures

Solid sodium chloride solubility is measured at temperatures from 297 to 467 K at pressure of 6.45 MPa in ethane-1,2-diol/water mixed solvent systems and at a concentration of cosolvent up to 75% w/w. The corresponding solubility is also predicted from an extension of the unified theory of electrolytes to mixed solvents (J. Phys. Chem. B 2012, 116, 9033−9042) for sodium and potassium chloride up to 473.15 K and over the whole composition range of the cosolvent. A comparison of the predicted solubility with the corresponding experimental values from this study and the available literature data indicates good agreement in all cases to well within the uncertainties of the experimental data. Also, for the saturated solution of sodium and potassium chloride in ethane-1,2-diol/water mixed solvent systems, the stoichiometric activity coefficient values are estimated up to 473.15 K. These stoichiometric activity coefficients, over the complete range of mole fraction of the cosolvent, are then extended to all conc...
