Solubility of anthracene in binary alcohol plus 3-methoxy-1-butanol solvent mixtures

Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in ten binary mixtures containing 3-methoxy-1-butanol with 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 1-pentanol, 2-pentanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 4-methyl-2-pentanol, 1-octanol, and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol at 25 degrees C. Results of these measurements are used to test two mathematical representations based upon the combined nearly ideal binary solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister equation and modified Wilson model. For the ten systems studied, both equations were found to provide an accurate mathematical representation of the experimental data, with an overall average absolute deviation between measured and calculated values being 0.4% and 0.5% for the combined NIBS/Redlich-Kister and modified Wilson equations, respectively.
