Measurements and correlation at different temperatures of liquid–liquid equilibria of 2-butanol or 2-methyl-2-butanol+1,2,3-propanetriol+water ternar…
2014
Abstract In this work, the experimental liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) data of 2-methyl-2-butanol + 1,2,3-propanetriol (glycerol) + water and 2-butanol + 1,2,3-propanetriol (glycerol) + water systems at different temperatures are presented. The LLE of the systems has been measured between 283 and 323 K. The NRTL and UNIQUAC models were applied to the ternary systems. The interaction parameters obtained from both models successfully correlated the equilibrium compositions. The experimental tie lines were compared to the values predicted by the UNIFAC method. Finally, the solvent capability of both alcohols was checked in order to separate the mixture formed by glycerol and water.
Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for Binary and Ternary Mixtures with Cyclohexane, Cyclohexene, and Methyl Isobutyl Ketone at 100 kPa
2010
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.
Vapor–liquid equilibria in dendrimer and hyperbranched polymer solutions: experimental data and modeling using UNIFAC-FV
2004
Abstract This work evaluates the potential of the group contribution method universal functional activity coefficients-free-volume (UNIFAC-FV) to predict vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) in dendrimer-solvent and hyperbranched polymer-solvent systems. The VLE of hydroxyl-functional dendritic polymers (polyethers, polyesters, polyamidoamine), dissolved in polar solvents (ethanol and/or water) are studied both experimentally and theoretically. A new approach is suggested to account for the contribution of selected types of polymer structural units (i.e. linear, dendritic and terminal units) to the solvent residual activity. The results of calculations are in a good agreement with experiment. Furt…
Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for Binary and Ternary Mixtures with Cyclohexane, Cyclohexene, and 2-Methoxyethanol at 100 kPa
2009
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.
Phase Equilibria Involved in the Extractive Distillation of Cyclohexane + Cyclohexene Using Diethyl Carbonate as an Entrainer
2011
Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 100 kPa have been measured for the ternary system cyclohexane + cyclohexene + diethyl carbonate and two constituent binary systems: cyclohexane + diethyl carbonate and cyclohexene + diethyl carbonate. Both binary systems show moderate positive deviations from ideal behavior and do not present an azeotrope. The VLE data have been correlated by the Wilson, universal quasichemical activity coefficient (UNIQUAC), and nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) equations. The ternary system does not present an azeotrope and is well-estimated from binary interaction parameters. A prediction with the universal functional activity coefficient (UNIFAC)-Dortmund method…
Study of liquid–liquid equilibrium of the systems isobutyl acetate+acetic acid+water and isobutyl alcohol+acetic acid+water at different temperatures
2008
Abstract In this work, experimental liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) data of the systems isobutyl acetate + acetic acid + water and isobutyl alcohol + acetic acid + water are presented. The liquid–liquid equilibria of both systems have been measured at 283.15 and 323.15 K. The NRTL and UNIQUAC models were applied to fit the data for both ternary systems. The interaction parameters obtained from both models successfully correlated the equilibrium compositions. The experimental tie lines were compared to the values predicted by the UNIFAC method. Moreover, the solvent capabilities of isobutyl acetate and isobutyl alcohol were compared.
