Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for Binary and Ternary Mixtures of Dipropyl Ether, 1-Propyl Alcohol, and Butyl Propionate
Consistent vapor−liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 101.3 kPa have been determined for the ternary system dipropyl ether + 1-propyl alcohol + butyl propionate and two constituent binary systems: dipropyl ether + butyl propionate and 1-propyl alcohol + butyl propionate. The dipropyl ether + butyl propionate system exhibits ideal behavior, and the 1-propyl alcohol + butyl propionate system shows positive deviations from Raoult's law. No additional azeotropes are present. The activity coefficients of the solutions were correlated with its composition by the Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC models. The ternary system is well-predicted from binary interaction parameters. Butyl propionate breaks the dipr…
Phase Equilibrium for the Esterification Reaction of Acetic Acid + Butan-1-ol at 101.3 kPa
In this work, the thermodynamic behavior of catalytic esterification reaction equilibrium and vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) for the quaternary reactive system acetic acid + butan-1-ol + butyl acetate + water and constituent binary systems acetic acid + butyl acetate, butan-1-ol + butyl acetate, and butan-1-ol + water have been determined at 101.3 kPa, and liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) of the binary system butan-1-ol + water have also been determined. The esterification reaction rate of the acetic acid and butan-1-ol mixture is very slow. So, in this study, p-toluenesulfonic acid was selected as the catalyst to accelerate the chemical reaction. The measured VLE data were correlated by the N…
