1999
Consistent vapor−liquid equilibrium data for the binary and ternary systems methyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether (MTBE) + 2-methyl-2-propanol (TBA) and methyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether (MTBE) + 2-methylpentane + 2-methyl-2-propanol (TBA) are reported at 101.3 kPa at temperatures in the range 328 to 356 K. The results indicate that the systems deviate positively from ideality and that no azeotrope is present. The activity coefficients of the solutions were correlated with composition by Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC models. It is shown that the models allow a very good prediction of the phase equilibrium of the ternary system using the pertinent parameters of the binary system. In addition, the Wisniak−…

2005
Abstract Consistent vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 101.3 kPa have been determined for the ternary system isobutyl alcohol (IBA) + isobutyl acetate (IBAc) + 1-hexanol and two constituent binary systems: IBA + 1-hexanol and IBAc + 1-hexanol. The IBA + 1-hexanol system exhibits no deviation from ideal behaviour and IBAc + 1-hexanol system show lightly positive deviation from Raoult's law. The activity coefficients of the solutions were correlated with its composition by the Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC models. The ternary system is well predicted from binary interaction parameters. 1-Hexanol eliminates the IBA–IBAc binary azeotrope. However, the change of phase equilibria behaviour is small t…
Phase equilibria and multiple azeotropy in the associating system methanol + diethylamine
1997
Vapor−liquid equilibrium has been measured for the binary system of methanol (1) + diethylamine (2) at 101.3 and 300 kPa. Both equilibrium isobars show strong deviations from ideal behavior and a single maximum boiling point azeotrope of practically constant composition x1 ≈ 0.76, corresponding to a temperature of 339.8 K at 101.3 kPa and 370.0 K at 300 kPa. The trend of the high-pressure isobar data is consistent with the formation of a second minimum boiling azeotrope, confirming the multiple azeotropic behavior found by others at a higher temperature (398.58 K). Furthermore, the excess Gibbs energy is negative and inflects markedly with composition with increased pressure. The equilibriu…
Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium for binary and ternary mixtures of ethanol+2-methyl-2-propanol and 2-methylpentane+ethanol+2-methyl-2-propanol
1999
Abstract Consistent vapor–liquid equilibrium data for the binary and ternary systems ethanol+2-methyl-2-propanol (TBA) and 2-methylpentane+ethanol+TBA are reported at 101.3 kPa. In the binary system, the results indicate a negative deviation from ideality and no azeotrope is present. The ternary system shows negative and positive deviations from ideality, does not present azeotrope, and is well predicted from binary data. The activity coefficients and boiling points of the solutions were correlated with its composition by Wilson, UNIQUAC and NRTL equations.

Abstract Consistent vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 101.3 kPa have been determined for the ternary system dipropyl ether (DPE) + 1-propanol (PA) + 1-pentanol and two constituent binary systems: DPE + 1-pentanol and PA + 1-pentanol. The DPE + 1-pentanol system shows positive deviations from ideal behaviour and PA + 1-pentanol system exhibits no deviation from ideal behaviour. The activity coefficients and the boiling points were correlated with their compositions by the Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC and Wisniak–Tamir equations.

Liquid–liquid equlibria of the system dimethyl carbonate+methanol+water at different temperatures
2006
Abstract In this work, experimental liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) data of the dimethyl carbonate + methanol + water system are presented. The LLE of this system has been measured from 283 to 333 K. On the other hand, LLE and LVE of the binary system dimethyl carbonate + water have been measured. The equilibrium data presented are correlated using NRTL and UNIQUAC equations. The reliability of these models is tested by comparison with experimental results. Finally, the VLE for the system DMC + water at 101.3 kPa was predicted using the UNIQUAC model, with the adjusted parameters obtained from the LLE data. This prediction was successful when is compared with the experimental VLE data.
Nonazeotropy in the System Methyl Ethanoate + 1,2-Epoxybutane
1997
New vapor−liquid equilibrium data for the binary system methyl ethanoate + 1,2-epoxybutane are reported at 35 and 101.3 kPa and at 298.15 K. It is shown that no azeotropes are present in the system, in disagreement with data reported by others who claim that two azeotropes are present at 298.15 K. We claim that previously reported data are in error because of impurities in the reagents and experimental errors. According to our results, the system methyl ethanoate + 1,2-epoxybutane behaves like a regular solution and its vapor phase can be considered practically ideal so that it cannot fulfill the necessary conditions for multiple azeotropy. The data were satisfactorily correlated using the …

Abstract Consistent vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 101.3 kPa have been determined for the ternary system isobutyl alcohol (IBA) + isobutyl acetate (IBAc) + butyl propionate (BUP) and two constituent binary systems: IBA + BUP and IBAc + BUP. The IBA + BUP system show lightly positive deviation from Raoult's law and IBAc + BUP system exhibits no deviation from ideal behaviour. The activity coefficients of the solutions were correlated with its composition by the Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC models. The ternary system is very well predicted from binary interaction parameters. BUP eliminates the IBA–IBAc binary azeotrope. The change of phase equilibria behaviour is significant therefore this s…

2005
Abstract New consistent vapor–liquid equilibrium data for the binary systems isobutyl alcohol (IBA) + isobutyl acetate (IBAc) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) + tert-butyl acetate (TBAc) are reported at 20 and 101.3 kPa. The IBA + IBAc system, which deviates positively from ideal behavior, can be described as symmetric solution and presents azeotrope at both pressures. The TBA + TBAc system shows positive deviations from ideal behavior and presents azeotrope only at 20 kPa. The activity coefficients and boiling points of the solutions were correlated with their composition by the Wilson, UNIQUAC, NRTL and Wisniak–Tamir equations.
Methane production from orange peel pressing liquid: A kinetic study
1992
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.

2000
This paper reports experimental densities, viscosities, and refractive indices of the binary systems methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) + 2-methylpentane, + 3-methylpentane, + 2,3-dimethylpentane, and + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane over the entire range of composition, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations were evaluated from the experimental data. These excess or derived properties were fitted to the Redlich−Kister equation to estimate the binary interaction parameters. The experimental values of viscosity have been compared to values predicted by means of the GC−UNIMOD model.

Separation of isobutyl alcohol and isobutyl acetate by extractive distillation and pressure-swing distillation: Simulation and optimization
2006
Abstract We have studied, simulated and evaluated economically two separation alternatives of a mixture made up of 52 mole% of isobutyl alcohol and 48 mole% of isobutyl acetate by means of a practical case of a plant to treat 12,000 Tm/year of the original mixture. The simulation has been carried out satisfactorily by means of a package of commercial software (Aspen HYSYS ® ) using the thermodynamic model UNIQUAC with binary parameters obtained experimentally by us. The two processes evaluated (extractive distillation using n -butyl propionate as a solvent and pressure-swing distillation) have been optimized independently from each other and the best configurations have been evaluated econo…

2007
Abstract Consistent vapour–liquid equilibrium data for the binary and ternary systems of diisopropyl ether + isopropyl alcohol at 30 and 101.3 kPa and diisopropyl ether + 2-methoxyethanol, isopropyl alcohol + 2-methoxyethanol and diisopropyl ether + isopropyl alcohol + 2-methoxyethanol at 101.3 kPa are reported.
