Abstract: The solubilities of riboflavin in pure water and in different concentration hydrochloride aqueous solution(w=0.14, 0.16,0.17,0.20,0.24,‘w’meant the HCl fraction in mixture aqueous solution)under 283K,288K,293K,298K,303K are measured respectively by steady method in this thesis.The solubility model is established.The dissolution heat and the solvation energy of riboflavin are estimated by using the experimental solubility data.The saturate and supersatuate characters of riboflavin in hydrochloride aqueous solution under 283K,288K,293K are investigated and analyzed.The width of crystallization metastable zone was obtained.These studies about crystallization thermodynamics establish foundation for the industrial manufacture of riboflavin.

Key words: riboflavin, solubility, crystallization thermodynamics
