Solid-liquid equilibria of musk ketone, musk xylene and 1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dinitro-5-tert-butyl benzene
The solid-liquid equilibria of musk ketone + musk xylene, musk xylene +1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dinitro-5-tert-butyl benzene are measured by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), these systems are proved to be simple eutectics. Moreover the melting points and the fusion enthalpies of musk ketone, musk xylene and 1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dinitro-5-tert-butyl benzene are also measured by the DSC. These solid-liquid equilibrium data and the heats of fusion are reported for the first time. Then UNIFAC model is used to correlate the solid-liquid equilibrium data. It is shown that the solid-liquid equilibria of musk systems can be predicted by the UNIFAC model.
