Comparisons of the effects of solute interactions on partition coefficient, k , in selected binary immiscible solvents: a case of oxalic acid and succinic acid.

The molecular distributions of solutes in binary immiscible solvents as used in partition coefficient technique serve as measures of the solute separation, concentration and beneficiation from contaminants. The effects of solute interactions on partition coefficient, k , in selected binary immiscible solvents were investigated at 30 C and atmospheric pressure. The activities from the interactions with changes of concentrations within the solvents were analysed.
