SLE - Solid-Liquid Equilibria

Solid-liquid equilibria (solid solubilities) are of great importance not only for crystallization processes but also for the selection of solvents for reaction mixtures and for plant safety assessment. In addition, these data provide information about the real mixture behavior at low temperatures, where the fugacity of a component cannot be easily determined via the fugacity or partial pressure over the solution.

Besides a large number of eutectic systems with nearly total immiscibility in the solid phase, the SLE data bank also contains data for components forming ideal or nonideal solid mixtures as well as those that form adducts.

A full list of systems is available in our DDB Online Search system. The page might take some seconds to load because of its size.

The following diagram shows several important types of binary solid-liquid equilibrium behavior (all data taken from DDB-SLE):
