Chapter 4 is devoted to the solubility of poorly soluble solids in mixed solvents (especially in aqueous solvents). Two types of solids are considered here: 1) drugs and 2) environmentally important compounds.

4.1 Solubility of drugs in aqueous solutions. Part 1: Ideal mixed solvent approximation.

4.2 Solubility of drugs in aqueous solutions. Part 2: Nonideal mixed solvent.

4.3 Solubility of drugs in aqueous solutions. Part 3: Multicomponent mixed solvent.

4.4 Solubility of drugs in aqueous solutions. Part 4: Drug solubility by the dilute approximation.

4.5 Solubility of drugs in aqueous solutions. Part 5: Thermodynamic consistency test for the solubility data.

4.6 Solubility of hydrophobic organic pollutants in binary and multicomponent aqueous solvents.
