Hansen solubility parameters

Home :: Tables for Chemistry :: Eluotrope series

The Hansen Solubility Parameters are a tool for predicting if a material will dissolve in given solvent or solvent mixture. Every solvent and solute has three parameters:

δ_d	the dispersion contribution to δ
δ_p	the polar contribution to δ
δ_h	the hydrogen bonding contribution to δ

where δ is the Hildebrand solubility parameter.
The relation δ²=δ_d²+δ_p²+δ_h² holds. Thus for non-polar solvents δ_p=δ_h=0 and δ_d=δ.
Solutes do also have δ_d,δ_p and δ_h parameters and an additional parameter, the interaction radius, R₀. To determine the solubility of a compound the distance R_a is calculated.

R_a²= 4×Δδ_d²+ Δδ_p²+ Δδ_h²

where

Δδ_d²= (δ_solute,d-δ_solvent,d)²

Δδ_p²= (δ_solute,p-δ_solvent,p)²

Δδ_h²= (δ_solute,h-δ_solvent,h)²

A solute dissolves in a solvent mixture if R₀<R_a.

The parameters here are given in (^cal/_mL)^½ in order to be consistent with Hildebrand δ. To convert to MPa^½ multiply by 2.05.
