IUPAC-NIST solubility data series. 82. Alcohols with water-revised and updated: Part 5. C-8-C-17 alcohols with water

The mutual solubilities and related liquid-liquid equilibria of C-8-C-17 alcohols with water are exhaustively and critically reviewed. Reports of experimental determination of solubility in 21 chemically distinct binary systems that appeared in the primary literature prior to the end of 2004 are compiled. For 12 systems sufficient data are available to allow critical evaluation. All data are expressed as mass percent and mole fraction as well as the originally reported units. In addition to the standard evaluation criteria used throughout the Solubility Data Series, a new method based on the evaluation of the all experimental data for a given homologous series of saturated alcohols was used.
