Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium for binary mixtures of 1-hexene+n-hexane and cyclohexane+cyclohexene at 30, 60 and 101.3kPa

Abstract Consistent vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) data were determined for the binary systems 1-hexene + n-hexane and cyclohexane + cyclohexene at 30, 60 and 101.3 kPa, with the purpose of studying the influence of the pressure in the separation of these binary mixtures. The two systems show a small positive deviation from ideality and do not present an azeotrope. VLE data for the binary systems have been correlated by the Wilson, UNIQUAC and NRTL equations with good results and have been predicted by the UNIFAC group contribution method.

Phase Equilibria in the Binary and Ternary Systems Composed of Diethyl Ketone, 2-Pentanone, and 3-Pentanol at 101.3 kPa

New vapor−liquid equilibrium data for the binary systems diethyl ketone + 2-pentanone, diethyl ketone + 3-pentanol and 2-pentanone + 3-pentanol and for the diethyl ketone + 2-pentanone + 3-pentanol ternary system are reported at 101.3 kPa. The data were found to be thermodynamically consistent according to the Van Ness−Byer−Gibbs method for the binary systems and according to the McDermott−Ellis method for the ternary one. The experimental results show that the diethyl ketone + 2-pentanone system is well represented by assuming ideal behavior. The other binary systems exhibit slight positive deviations from ideality, and no azeotrope is present. The VLE data have been correlated with the Wi…

Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for Binary and Ternary Mixtures with Cyclohexane, Cyclohexene, and Methyl Isobutyl Ketone at 100 kPa

Consistent vapor−liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 100 kPa have been determined for the ternary system cyclohexane + cyclohexene + methyl isobutyl ketone and two constituent binary systems: cyclohexane + methyl isobutyl ketone and cyclohexene + methyl isobutyl ketone. Both binary systems show positive deviations from ideal behavior and do not present an azeotrope. The VLE data have been correlated by the Wilson, UNIQUAC, and NRTL equations. The ternary system does not present an azeotrope and is well predicted from binary interaction parameters. Prediction with the UNIFAC method has also been obtained.

Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for Binary and Ternary Mixtures with Cyclohexane, Cyclohexene, and 2-Methoxyethanol at 100 kPa

Consistent vapor−liquid equilibria (VLE) data at 100 kPa have been determined for the ternary system cyclohexane + cyclohexene + 2-methoxyethanol and two constituent binary systems: cyclohexane + 2-methoxyethanol and cyclohexene + 2-methoxyethanol. Both binary systems deviate remarkably from ideal behavior presenting a minimum boiling point azeotrope. The VLE data have been correlated by the Wilson, UNIQUAC, and NRTL equations. The ternary system does not present an azeotrope and is well predicted from binary interaction parameters. Prediction with the UNIFAC method has been also obtained.

Methane production from orange peel pressing liquid: A kinetic study

Abstract This paper studies the anaerobic fermentation of orange peel pressing liquid (OPPL), in semi‐continuous digesters under thermophilic conditions (50, 55 and 60°C), using rabbit manure as inoculum which has been previously conditioned to substrate and temperature. Experimental data have been fitted, at each temperature, to the Chen and Hashimoto model. Kinetic parameters governing the process have been obtained. It can be observed that both μm and K decrease when temperature increases, within the studied range, whereas the calculated minimum hydraulic retention time, θm, increases with temperature, as tested experimentally.

Densities, Viscosities, and Refractive Indices of Some Binary Liquid Systems of Methanol + Isomers of Hexanol at 298.15 K

Viscosities, densities, and refractive indices of eight binary liquid systems containing ethanol + some isomers of hexanol have been determined at 298.15 K. The excess property values were fitted to the Redlich-Kister equation to estimate the binary coefficients and the standard deviations.

Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria of Trichloroethylene with 1-Butanol and 2-Butanol at 20 and 100 kPa

Vapor−liquid equilibria for trichloroethylene + 1-butanol, and + 2-butanol are reported at 20 and 100 kPa. The two systems satisfy the point-to-point thermodynamic consistency test. Both systems show a positive deviation from ideality.

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for binary and ternary mixtures with cyclohexane, cyclohexene, and morpholine at 100kPa

Abstract Vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) data at 100 kPa have been determinated for the ternary system cyclohexane + cyclohexene + morpholine and two constituent binary systems cyclohexane + morpholine and cyclohexene + morpholine. The thermodynamic consistency of experimental data has been verified. Both binary systems deviate moderately from ideality without the presence of an azeotrope. The VLE data have been well correlated using local composition models (Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC) and have been also predicted with the original UNIFAC.
