Chapter 14. Liquid-Liquid and Solid-Liquid Phase Equilibria

In the field of observation, chance favors the prepared mind.

Pasteur

The large magnitudes of the activity coefficients in the polymer mixing example should suggest an interesting possibility. Perhaps the escaping tendency for each of the polymers in the mixture is so high that they would prefer to escape the mixture to something besides the vapor phase. In other words, the components might separate into two distinct liquid phases. This can present quite a problem for blending plastics and recycling them because they do not stay blended. The next question is: How can we tell if a liquid mixture is stable as a single liquid phase? Also, crystallization is used for many pharmaceuticals ...
