Vapor–liquid equilibria in the ternary system isobutyl alcohol+isobutyl acetate+butyl propionate and the binary systems isobutyl alcohol+butyl propionate, isobutyl acetate+butyl propionate at 101.3kPa
Consistent vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 101DDT3kPa 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'...

Summary: | Consistent vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 101DDT3kPa 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 solvent seems to be an effective agent for that azeotrope mixture separation. In fact, the mean relative volatility on a solvent free basis is 1DDT8. The binary VLE data measured in the present study passed the thermodynamic consistency test of Fredenslund et al. [A. Fredenslund, J. Gmehling, P. Rasmussen, Vapor-Liquid Equilibria Using UNIFAC, A Group Contribution Method, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1977], and were correlated by the Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC models to relate activity coefficients with mole fractions. The VLE data obtained for the ternary system passed both the Wisniak L-W [J. Wisniak, Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 32 (1993) 1531-1533] and McDermott-Ellis [C. McDermott, S.R. Ellis, Chem. Eng. Sci. 20 (1965) 293-296] consistency test. The parameters obtained from binary data were utilized directly to predict the phase behaviour of the ternary system. The results showed an excellent agreement with experimental values. |
