Abstract

Solid–liquid equilibria for three binary mixtures of N-(2-acetoxyethyl)-p-nitroaniline (1) + 2-nitrodiphenylamine (2), N-(2-acetoxyethyl)-p-nitroaniline (1) + ethyl centralite (2) and N-(2-acetoxyethyl)-p-nitroaniline (1) + methyl centralite (2) have been determined experimentally using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Simple eutectic behaviours for these systems have been observed. The experimental results have been correlated by means of NRTL and UNIQUAC equations. The root-mean-square deviations of the solubility temperatures for all measured data vary from 0.61 to 3.32 K and depend on the particular model used. The best solubility correlation has been obtained with the UNIQUAC model.
