Azeotrope (data)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. Data includes composition of mixture by
weight (in binary azeotropes when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), boiling point (b.p.) of
components, boiling point of mixture, and specific gravity of mixture. Boiling points are at 760 mm Hg unless otherwise stated. Where the
mixture separates into layers, values are shown for upper (U) and lower (L) layers.
Data is obtained from Lange's 10th edition[1] and CRC 44th edition[2] unless otherwise noted (see color code table).
A list of 15825 binary and ternary mixtures was collated and published by the ACS.[3]
