The mutual solubilities of ternary systems containing alcohols, hydrocarbons,
and water are reviewed. An exhaustive search of the literature was attempted
for numerical data on all alcohols and hydrocarbons that are liquid
at STP. Data were found for alcohols with up to nine carbon atoms, but
mostly with fewer than four carbons. Data for a variety of hydrocarbon
structural types were found, including alkane, alkene, and arene. A
total of 205 original studies treating 116 ternary systems that have
been published through 1992 are compiled. For 47 systems, sufficient
data were available to allow critical evaluation. All solubility data
are expressed as mass and mole fractions as well as the originally reported
units. Similar reviews of the related binary systems have previously
been prepared for the Solubility Data Series.
