Thermodynamic studies of fluphenazine decanoate solubility in propylene glycol plus water mixtures and correlation with the Jouyban-Acree model

Abstract

Solubilities of fluphenazine decanoate (FD) in binary mixtures of propylene glycol + water (PG + W) at 293.2, 298.2, 303.2, 308.2, and 313.2 K are reported. The combination of Jouyban-Acree model and van't Hoff equation is used to predict the solubility of FD in a given solvent mixture at different temperatures. The thermodynamic properties (enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy standard changes of solutions) for FD in PG + W mixtures are calculated from solubility data using the modified version of van't Hoff and Gibbs equations. The results show that Jouyban-Acree model can predict the solubility of FD in PG + W mixtures as a function of temperature over the studied temperature range. The study represents the first time that thermodynamic properties of solutes dissolved in binary solvent mixtures have been described by the Jouyban-Acree model. The calculated values are in good agreement with the measured experimental data. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
