Ferulic acid was obtained from rice hull with the microwave-assisted extraction method.The solubility data of trans-ferulic acid in 8 binary systems of water and organic solvents,such as methyl acetate,ethyl acetate,butyl acetate,methanol,ethanol,dichloromethane and chloroform were measured from 273.15 K to 333.15 K.The empirical equation was adopted,and the solubilities calculated by the model were in good agreement with experimental data.
