Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibrium in the Systems Methyl 1,1-Dimethylethyl Ether + 2-Methyl-2-propanol and Methyl 1,1-Dimethylethyl Ether + 2-Methylpentane + 2-Methyl-2-propanol
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−…
Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for Binary and Ternary Mixtures of Ethanol, Methylcyclohexane, and p-Xylene
Consistent vapor−liquid equilibria (VLE) were determined for the ternary system ethanol + methylcyclohexane + p-xylene and the three binary subsystems at 101.3 kPa at temperatures in the range from 345 to 408 K. The binary systems exhibit positive deviation from ideal behavior, and the system ethanol + methylcyclohexane presents a minimum-boiling-point azeotrope. The VLE data have been correlated by the Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC equations. The ternary system does not present an azeotrope and is well predicted from binary interaction parameters.
