K and 323. K Zhanzhong Wang, Qian Wang, Xiangshan Liu, Wenzhi Fang, Yan Li, and Huazhi Xiao School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin 372, P. R. China (Received 6 September 212 accepted 22 December 212) Abstract The solubility of xylitol in ethanol+water solvent mixtures was measured at temperatures ranging from 278. K to 323. K at atmospheric pressure by using a laser technique. The results of these measurements were correlated by the combined nearly ideal binary solvent CNIBS/Redlich-Kister equation. The erimental solubility and correlation equation in this work can be used as essential data and models in the purification process of xylitol. The variant 2 in the CNIBS/R-K models was confirmed to be more adaptable to predict solubility of xylitol in binary ethanol +water system. Using the erimentally measured solubilities, the thermodynamic properties of dissolution of xylitol, such as Gibbs energy, molar enthalpy of dissolution, and molar entropy of dissolution, were calculated. Key words: Xylitol, Solubility, Measurement, Correlation, Thermodynamic Properties INTRODUCTION Xylitol, a pentitol with high sweetening power and anticariogenic properties, is one kind of sugar substitute in food production, perfumery, pharmaceutics, and chemistry. Xylitol crystals are white, odorless, and hygroscopic, having a negative heat of solution, a melting point between 365. K and 369. K, exhibiting various solubility in different kinds of solvents [1-4]. In industrial manufacture, xylitol is purified through crystallization from solution as the final step and dilution crystallization generally is preferable. It is well known that crystallization is the key step, since, in many respects, it determines the yield and quality of the target product. Therefore, crystallization processes are the critical steps that determine the quality of final product, and knowing the solubility of the product is a necessary condition in order to design the crystallization process properly. What s more, to determine proper solvents and to design an optimized production process, it is necessary to know the solubility of the target product in different solvent systems. Because xylitol in pure ethanol is slightly soluble and is extremely soluble, water+ethanol can be an ideal system for the dilution crystallization of xylitol. However, from a review of the literature, it was found that no erimental solubility data in binary ethanol+water solvent mixtures was available. In this paper, the solubility of xylitol in binary ethanol+water solvent mixtures was erimentally determined at the temperatures ranging from 278. K to 323. K and at atmospheric pressure using a laser technique. The method employed in this work is much faster and more readily credible than the analytical method, which is classified as a synthetic method [5]. Solubility data of xylitol determined can be used to make a further analysis of theoretical yield, control of crystallization process and so on in real industrial crystallization. Modeling of erimental solubility data enables researchers to represent mathematical aspects of solubility. A number of methods To whom correspondence should be addressed. E-mail: xiao@tju.edu.cn 931 have been presented to estimate the solubility of solute in solvent mixtures. According to these methods, the solubility of a solute can be predicted in systems. In this work, erimental data were correlated by CNIBS/Redlich-Kister equation. The deviation calculated of the different CNIBS/R-K models was analyzed to enhance the reliability of prediction of these models. EXPERIMENTAL SECTION 1. Chemicals The xylitol used for the solubility measurement was purchased commercially from Tianjin Silicon Valley Technology Development Co. Ltd., China, and it was obtained by recrystallizing commercial xylitol obtained. Ethanol used for eriments was analytical grade without further treatment. Distilled deionized water of HPLC grade was used. 2. Apparatus and Procedure The solubility of xylitol was measured by the last crystal disappearance method. That is, the dissolution of the solute was examined by the laser beam penetrating the vessel. In this eriment, a 1 ml jacked vessel was used to determine the solubility; the temperature was controlled to be constant through a thermostat water bath. The masses of the samples and solvents were weighted using an analytical balance with an uncertainty of ±.1 g. The solubility of xylitol was determined by using a laser technique [6-9]. During eriments, the fluid in the glass vessel was monitored by a laser beam. Predetermined excess amounts of solvent and xylitol were placed in the inner chamber of the vessel. The content of the vessel was stirred continuously at a required temperature. In the early stage of the eriment, the laser beam was blocked by the undissolved particles of xylitol in the solution, so the intensity of laser beam penetrating the vessel was lower. Along with the dissolution of the particles of the solute, the intensity of the laser beam increased gradually. When the solute dissolved completely, the solution became clear and transparent and the laser intensity reached maximum. Then additional solute of known mass (about 1 to 5 mg)

932 Z. Wang et al. was added into the vessel. We repeated this procedure unless the penetrated laser intensity could not return maximum, and at this moment, the last addition of solute could no longer dissolve completely. The interval of addition was 3 min. The total amount of the solute consumed was recorded. All the eriments were conducted three times, and the mean values were used to calculate the mole fraction solubility. The uncertainty of the erimental solubility values was not more than.5%. The saturated mole fraction solubility of the solute ( ) in solution was obtained as follows: from 278. K to 323. K are listed in Table 1. x c denotes ethanol mole fraction of the binary solvent where solute was not present. From Table 1, it can be seen that solubility of xylitol increases with increasing temperature. At a certain constant temperature, the solubility of xylitol in ethanol+water binary mixtures increases with increasing water content. 2. Data Correlation The solubility data in Table 1 can be exactly described by the combined nearly ideal binary solvent (CNIBS)/Redlich-Kister mod- m = A /M ---------------------------------------------------------- A m A /M A + m B /M B + m C /M C In which m A, m B and m C represented the masses of solute, water, and ethanol. M A, M B, and M C are the molecule weight of solute, ethanol, and water, respectively. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 1. Solubility Data To verify the reliability of the method of solubility measurement used, the solubility data of xylitol in pure ethanol and water was compared with the literature. Fig. 1 is the plot of solubility of xylitol in pure ethanol and pure water between 278. K and 323. K. From Fig. 1, it can be seen that xylitol is extremely soluble in pure water and sharply rises with increase of temperature, while it is slightly soluble in pure ethanol. The solubility data measured in pure ethanol and water are in good agreement with the literature reported [1].

Acree and co-workers [1-12] suggested the CNIBS-Kister model. = x B ( ) B + x C ( ) C + x B x C S i x ln ln ln ( B x C ) i N i=1 (2) As a reasonable mathematical representation, the CNIBS-Kister model can accurately describe how the erimental isothermal solubility of a crystalline solute dissolved in binary solvent mixtures varies with binary solvent composition altering. Moreover, in the model Si stands for the model constant and N can be equal to, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Depending on choosing the different values of N, four forms of equations can be obtained from Eq. (2). x B and x C refer to the initial mole fraction composition of the binary solvent calculated as if solute A was not present. ( ) i denotes the saturated mole fraction solubility of the solute in pure solvent i. When obtaining the model constants with different methods, various variants of the CNIBS/R-K model can be deduced. Substitution of (1 x C ) for x B in equation with N=2 and subsequent rearrangements result in Eq. (3). ln =ln( ) B +[ln( ) C ln( ) B +S +S 1 +S 2 ]x C ln =+[ S +3S 1 +5S 2 ]x C 2 +[ 2S 1 8S 2 ]x C 3 +[ 4S 2 ]x C 4 It can also be written as Eq.

Summed squared percentage deviation, Σ(%D) 2, is calculated by Eq. (8) for assessing the accuracy and predictability of models. Σ(%D) 2 can be defined as: (%D) 2 = 1 x cal [( A )/ ] 2 cal Where stands for calculated solubility. For overall judgment, sum of Σ(%D) 2, i.e. ΣΣ(%D) 2, is calculated. Careful examination of Tables 2-4 indicates that three variants provide an accurate mathematical representation for how the solubility of xylitol in binary ethanol+water solvent mixtures at different temperature varies with solvent composition. Comparison of ΣΣ (%D) 2 for variants 1 and 2, indicated that variant 2 improved the predictability of CNIBS/R-K model about 77%.

The H soln can be obtained from the slope of the solubility curve in the so-called van t Hoff plot where ln x i is plotted versus 1/T. Over a limited temperature interval, the standard molar enthalpy of solution ( H soln) would be valid for the mean temperature, so Eq. (9) can also be written as: H soln x = R ln ----------------------------------- 1 ( 1/T 1/T mean ) (9) (1) Actually, the derived values of H soln by Eq. (1) are the same as that by Eq. (9) (Figs. 3 and 4). The standard molar Gibbs energy of solution ( G soln) can be calculated according to literature [16,17]: G soln= RTmean int ercept (11) where the intercept is obtained in plots of ln (x i ) as a function of (1/ T 1/T mean ). Another approach in the literature [18,19] can also be used to estimate S soln by the equation as follows: H x i = ------------ soln RT + S ln ------------ soln R (12) where S soln can be calculated from intercept of the solubility curve where ln (x i ) is plotted versus (1/T). The standard thermodynamic parameters for the solution process in the selected solvent system are listed in Table 5. The standard molar enthalpy of solution for all cases is positive, thereby indicating the solution process of xylitol in each selected solvent is endothermic. For all cases, the standard molar Gibbs energy of solution is positive, which demonstrates that the process is nonspontaneous. The standard molar entropy of solution is positive in all the solvents, which shows that the entropy is the driving force for the Table 5.

CONCLUSIONS From the above analysis, the following accurate conclusions can be drawn: (1) For all selected solvent systems, solubility is a function of temperature and solvent composition. From 278. K to 323. K, the solubility of xylitol increases with increasing temperature in binary ethanol+water solvent mixtures. (2) At a certain constant temperature, the solubility sharply decreases with increasing ethanol content of the original mixed solvents. (3) The calculated solubility is in good agreement with the erimental values, and the erimental solubility and correlation equation presented in this work can be used as essential data and models in the process of the resolution of xylitol. (4) Variant 2 in the CNIBS/R-K models is more adaptable to predict solubility of xylitol in a binary ethanol+water binary system. (5) The thermodynamic properties for the solution process including Gibbs energy, enthalpy and the entropy were obtained by the van t Hoff analysis and the Gibbs equation.
