The solubility of a long chain paraffin hydrocarbon (C₂₆H₅₈) over a temperature range of 75° has been measured in acetic, propionic and ethyl butyric acids. The phase relationship for the acetic acid - hexacosane system differs considerably from that of the other two. The results show that propionic acid is the best solvent to use for recrystallization and purification of a long chain hydrocarbon. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Chemical and Biological Engineering, Department of / Graduate
