Correlation of Surface Tension of Mono-Solvents at Various Temperatures

Abstract

Surface tension is among the most important factors in chemical and pharmaceutical processes. Modeling the surface tension of solvents at different temperatures helps to optimize the type of solvent and temperature. The surface tension of solvents at different temperatures with their solvation parameters was used in this study to develop a model based on the van’t Hoff equation by multiple linear regression. Abraham solvation parameters, Hansen solubility parameters, and Catalan parameters are among the most discriminating descriptors. The overall MPD of the model was 3.48%, with a minimum and maximum MPD of 0.04% and 11.62%, respectively. The model proposed in this study could be useful for predicting the surface tension of mono-solvents at different temperatures.
