Solubility, thermodynamic modeling and Hansen solubility parameter of a new type of explosive in four binary solvents (benzene + ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol and isoamyl alcohol) from 283.15 K to 323.15 K

The solubility of 3,4-dinitropyrazole (DNP) in four binary solvents (benzene + ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol and isoamyl alcohol) was measured by a dynamic laser monitoring at the temperature from 283.15 K to 323.15 K at pressure of 0.1 MPa. The solubility of DNP increased positively with increasing temperature, while increased with decreasing molar fraction of benzene in each binary system. Moreover, the experimental solubility values of DNP in this work were correlated well with four thermodynamic models namely “the modified Apelblat equation, Jouyban-Acree model, NRTL model and Wilson model” obtaining average root-mean-square deviation (10⁴RMSD) lower than 98.93 for correlative studies. In addition, Hansen solubility parameters were used to explain and predict the solubility behavior. Finally, mixing thermodynamic properties were estimated and analyzed based on solubility data and the Wilson model, and it's easy to understand that the dissolution was a spontaneous process from the results.
