Abstract
The UNIFAC group contribution method was applied to predict solubilities of C10−C22 normal alkanoic acids in hydrocarbons, esters, ketones, and alcohols. The results were compared with the literature experimental data. It was found that taking into account dimerization of the acids improves considerably the prediction accuracy.
