Modeling the Solubility of Monoterpenoids with Hybrid and Predictive Thermodynamic Tools.

ABSTRACT: The Abraham and NRTL-SAC semipredictive models were employed to represent the solubility of (-)-borneol, (1R)-(+)-camphor, l-(-)-menthol, and thymol in water and organic solvents, using data measured in this work and collected from the literature. A reduced set of solubility data was used to estimate the model parameters of the solutes, and global average relative deviations (ARDs) of 27% for the Abraham model and 15% for the NRTL-SAC model were obtained. The predictive capability of these models was tested by estimating the solubilities in solvents not included in the correlation step. Global ARDs of 8% (Abraham model) and 14% (NRTL-SAC model) were obtained. Finally, the predictive COSMO-RS model was used to describe the solubility data in organic solvents, with ARD of 16%.
