UNIFAC prediction of aqueous and nonaqueous solubilities of chemicals with environmental interest
Article Abstract:
The latest version of UNIFAC group interaction parameters can predict the aqueous and nonaqueous solubility of a large number of chemicals to within 0.5 log unit. UNIFAC-predicted aqueous solubilities matched literature-reported aqueous solubilities for 11 groups of compounds. UNIFAC also successfully predicted the co-solvency of polychlorinated biphenyls in methanol/water solutions. For three groups of chemicals, namely, long-chain alkanes, phthalates and chlorinated alkenes, the error between predicted and literature-reported aqueous solubilities was larger.
