Partial molar volumes of organic solutes in water. XII. Methanol(aq), ethanol(aq), 1-propanol(aq), and 2-propanol(aq) at T = (298 to 573) K and at pressures up to 30 MPa

Density data for dilute aqueous solutions of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol are presented together with partial molar volumes at infinite dilution calculated from the experimental data. The measurements were performed at from T = (298.15 up to 573.15) K and at pressure close to the saturated vapor pressure of water, at p = 30 MPa and at pressure between these limits. The data were obtained using a high-temperature high-pressure flow vibrating-tube densimeter.     

VLE of CO2 + glycerol + (ethanol or 1-propanol or 1-butanol)

Vapour-liquid equilibrium of CO₂ + [0.00871 glycerol + 0.99129 (ethanol or 1-propanol or 1-butanol)] mixtures was measured at the temperatures of 313.15 K and 333.15 K, and close to the critical line, at pressures up to 12 MPa. On the liquid side, the bubble points measured for these ternary mixtures follow closely the behaviour of VLE reported by several authors for the corresponding binary mixtures without glycerol. On the vapour side, however, dew points for the ternary mixtures deviate significantly from VLE results for the binaries. A correlation of the results obtained for the CO₂ + glycerol + ethanol mixture with the Peng-Robinson equation of state, admitting quasi-binary behaviour, equally yields good agreement on the liquid side, and significant deviations on the vapour side.     

Molar excess enthalpies of ethyl acetate + alkanols at T = 298.15 K, p = 10.0 MPa

A commercial flow-mixing isothermal calorimeter was tested by measuring heat of mixing curves for exothermic, endothermic, S-shaped and double minimum molar excess enthalpy mixtures at high pressure. The results show this calorimeter is able to produce good quality data. Molar excess enthalpies for ethyl acetate mixed with a series of simple alkanols were measured at T = 298.15 K and p = 10 MPa.     

Physical properties of 3-methyl-N-butylpyridinium tricyanomethanide and ternary LLE data with an aromatic and an aliphatic hydrocarbon at T = (303.2 and 328.2) K and p = 0.1 MPa

Several physical properties were determined for the ionic liquid 3-methyl-N-butylpyridinium tricyanomethanide ([3-mebupy]C(CN)₃): liquid density, viscosity, surface tension, thermal stability and heat capacity in the temperature range from (283.2 to 363.2) K and at 0.1 MPa. The density and the surface tension could well be correlated with linear equations and the viscosity with a Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman equation. The IL is stable up to a temperature of 420 K.Ternary data for the systems {benzene + n-hexane, toluene + n-heptane, and p-xylene + n-octane + [3-mebupy]C(CN)₃} were determined at T = (303.2 and 328.2) K and p = 0.1 MPa. All experimental data were well correlated with the NRTL model. The experimental and calculated aromatic/aliphatic selectivities are in good agreement with each other.     

(p, ρ, T) properties, and apparent molar volumes V? of ZnBr2 in methanol at T = (298.15 to 398.15) K and pressures up to p = 40 MPa

The (p, ρ, T) properties of pure methanol, the (p, ρ, T) properties and apparent molar volumes V_? of ZnBr₂ in methanol at T = (298.15 to 398.15) K and pressures up to p = 40 MPa are reported, and apparent molar volumes have been evaluated. The experimental (p, ρ, T, m) values were described by an equation of state. For the solutions the experiments were carried out at molalities m = (0.05772, 0.37852, 0.71585 and 1.95061) mol · kg⁻¹ of zinc bromide.     

Liquid phase equilibria of (water + phosphoric acid + 1-butanol or butyl acetate) ternary systems at T = 308.2 K

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria and tie lines for the ternary systems of (water + phosphoric acid + 1-butanol) and (water + phosphoric acid + butyl acetate) were measured at T = 308.2 K. The experimental ternary (liquid + liquid) equilibrium data were correlated with the UNIQUAC model. The reliability of the experimental tie lines was confirmed using Othmer-Tobias correlation. The average root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) values of (water + phosphoric acid + 1-butanol) and (water + phosphoric acid + butyl acetate) systems were 2.17% and 2.16%, respectively. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were measured to evaluate the extracting capability of the solvents. The results show that butyl acetate may be considered as a reliable organic solvent for the extraction of phosphoric acid from aqueous solutions.     

Phase equilibria in ternary aqueous mixtures of 1,3-butanediol with 2-ethyl-1-hexanol at T = (298.2, 303.2 and 308.2) K

Experimental tie-line data for ternary system of (water + 1,3-butanediol (1,3-BD) + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2EH)) were determined at T = (298.2, 303.2 and 308.2) K under atmospheric conditions. This ternary system exhibits type-1 behavior of LLE. The experimental ternary LLE data were correlated using the NRTL model, and the binary interaction parameters were obtained. The average root-mean-square deviation between the observed and calculated mole fractions was 1.38%. Distribution coefficient and separation factor were measured to evaluate the extracting capability of the solvent. The separation factor values for the solvent used in this work were then compared with literature values obtained in our previous works for other butanediols.     

Excess and deviation properties for the binary mixtures of methylcyclohexane with benzene, toluene, p-xylene, mesitylene, and anisole at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K

Experimental data on density, viscosity, and refractive index at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K, while speed of sound values at T = 298.15 K are presented for the binary mixtures of (methylcyclohexane + benzene), methylbenzene (toluene), 1,4-dimethylbenzene (p-xylene), 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (mesitylene), and methoxybenzene (anisole). From these data of density, viscosity, and refractive index, the excess molar volume, the deviations in viscosity, molar refraction, speed of sound, and isentropic compressibility have been calculated. The computed values have been fitted to Redlich-Kister polynomial equation to derive the coefficients and estimate the standard errors. Variations in the calculated excess quantities for these mixtures have been studied in terms of molecular interactions between the component liquids and the effects of methyl and methoxy group substitution on benzene ring.

Density, refractive index and speed of sound at T=298.15 K and atmospheric pressure have been measured over the entire composition range for (dimethyl carbonate (DMC) + methanol + ethanol) and (DMC + methanol + 1-propanol). Excess molar volumes, changes of refractive index on mixing and deviations in isentropic compressibility for the above systems have been calculated. The calculated quantities are further fitted to the Cibulka equation to estimate the ternary fitting parameters. Standard deviations from the regression lines are shown.     

Solubilities of betulin in chloroform + methanol mixed solvents at T = (278.2, 288.2, 293.2, 298.2, 308.2 and 313.2) K

Experimental solubilities of betulin in mixed solvents of chloroform (1) + methanol (2) were determined at T = (278.2, 288.2, 293.2, 298.2, 308.2 and 313.2) K. The solubilities of betulin in mixed solvents of chloroform (1) + methanol (2) increase with increasing of temperature. The curves of solubility versus solvent composition on solute-free basis went through a maximum. Experimental data of solubilities were correlated with a three-parameter equation. In addition, three crystals of betulin obtained in different compositions of chloroform (1) + methanol (2) mixtures were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

This work reports new density data (178 points) of 1-butanol at twelve temperatures between 293.15 and 403.15 K (every 10 K), and fifteen pressures from 0.1 up to 140 MPa (every 10 MPa). An Anton Paar vibrating tube densimeter, calibrated with an uncertainty of ±0.5 kg m⁻³ was used to perform these measurements. The experimental density data were fitted with the Tait-like equation with low standard deviations. In addition, the isobaric thermal expansivity and the isothermal compressibility have been derived from the Tait-like equation.     

Experimental measurement and modeling of solubility of LiBr and LiNO3 in methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol and 1-butanol

The solubility of lithium bromide and lithium nitrate in solvents methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol and 1-butanol were measured in the range between 298.15 and 338.15 K using an analytical gravimetric method. An empirical equation was used to fit the experimental solubilities and the Pitzer model with inclusion of Archer's ionic strength was used for the calculation of osmotic coefficients. The experimental data of system pressures (p) for the correlation of LiBr + ethanol, LiBr + 2-propanol at T (298.15-333.15 K) and LiNO₃ + ethanol at T (298.15-323.15 K) were obtained from published literatures. Moreover, the parameters of the Pitzer model were re-correlated and were used to predict mean ion activity coefficients. A procedure was also presented to predict the solubility products of salts in pure organic solvent.     

The (p, ρ, T) of (methanol + benzene) and (methanol + ethylbenzene)

The (p, ρ, T) of methanol, ethylbenzene and (methanol + benzene) and (methanol + ethylbenzene) at temperatures between (290 and 500) K and pressures in the range (0.1 to 60) MPa have been measured with a magnetic suspension densimeter with an uncertainty of ±0.1%. Our measurements with methanol deviate from the literature values by less than 0.2%. The (p, ρ, T) measurements were fitted with experimental uncertainties by an empirical equation. The temperature and mole fraction dependence of the coefficients of the equation of state are presented.     

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria of the quaternary system methanol + isooctane + cyclohexane + benzene at T = 303.15 K

Tie line data of the ternary system {methanol + isooctane + cyclohexane} were obtained at T = 303.15 K. A quaternary system containing these three compounds and benzene was also studied at the same temperature, while data for {methanol + benzene + cyclohexane} and {methanol + benzene + isooctane} were taken from literature. In order to obtain the binodal surface of the quaternary system, four quaternary sectional planes with several cyclohexane/isooctane ratios were studied. The distribution of benzene between both phases was also analysed. Ternary experimental results were correlated with the UNIQUAC and NRTL equations and compared with predictions using the UNIFAC group contribution method.     

Ternary (liquid + liquid) equilibria of the azeotrope (ethyl acetate + 2-propanol) with different ionic liquids at T = 298.15 K

Experimental (liquid + liquid) equilibria involving ionic liquids {1,3-dimethylimidazolium methyl sulfate (MMIM MeSO₄)}, {2-propanol + ethyl acetate + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIM PF₆)} and {2-propanol + ethyl acetate + 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (HMIM PF₆)} were carried out to separate the azeotropic mixture ethyl acetate and 2-propanol. Selectivity and distribution ratio values, derived from the tie-lines data, were presented in order to analyze the best separation solvent in a liquid extraction process. Experimental (liquid + liquid) equilibria data were compared with the correlated values obtained by means of the NRTL, Othmer-Tobias and Hand equations. These equations were verified to accurately correlate the experimental data.     

Design and construction of an adiabatic calorimeter for samples of less than 1 cm in the temperature range T = 15 K to T = 350 K

A small-scale adiabatic calorimeter has been constructed as part of a larger project to study the thermodynamics of nanomaterials and to facilitate heat capacity measurements on samples of insufficient quantity to run on our current large-scale adiabatic apparatus. This calorimeter is designed to measure the heat capacity of samples whose volume is less than 0.8 cm³ over a temperature range of T = 13 K to T = 350 K. Heat capacity results on copper, sapphire, and benzoic acid show the accuracy of the measurements to be better than ±0.4% for temperatures higher than T = 50 K. The reproducibility of these measurements is generally better than ±0.25%.     

Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous N-acetyl-d-glucosamine at temperatures from 278.15 K to 368.15 K and of aqueous N-methylacetamide at temperatures from 278.15 K to 393.15 K at the pressure 0.35 MPa

We determined apparent molar volumes V_? from densities measured with a vibrating-tube densimeter at 278.15 ? (T/K) ? 368.15 and apparent molar heat capacities C_p,? with a twin fixed-cell, differential, temperature-scanning calorimeter at 278.15 ? (T/K) ? 363.15 for aqueous solutions of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine at m from (0.01 to 1.0) mol · kg⁻¹ and at p = 0.35 MPa. We also determined V_? at 278.15 ? (T/K) ? 368.15 and C_p,? at 278.15 ? (T/K) ? 393.15 for aqueous solutions of N-methylacetamide at m from (0.015 to 1.0) mol · kg⁻¹ and at p = 0.35 MPa. Empirical functions of m and T for each compound were fitted to our results, which are then compared to those for N,N-dimethylacetamide. Estimated values of Δ_rV_m(m, T) and Δ_rC_p,m(m, T) for formation of aqueous N-acetyl-d-glucosamine from aqueous d-glucose and aqueous acetamide are calculated and discussed.     

Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium at T = 333.15 K and excess volumes and molar refractivity deviation at T = 298.15 K for the ternary mixtures {di-methyl carbonate (DMC) + ethanol + benzene} and {DMC + ethanol + toluene}

Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium data at 333.15 K are reported for the ternary systems {di-methyl carbonate (DMC) + ethanol + benzene} and {DMC + ethanol + toluene} as determined with headspace gas chromatography. The experimental ternary vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data were correlated with different activity coefficient models. The excess volume (V^E) and deviations in molar refractivity (ΔR) data are reported for the binary systems {DMC + benzene} and {DMC + toluene} and also for the ternary systems {DMC + ethanol + benzene} and {DMC + ethanol + toluene} at 298.15 K. These V^E and ΔR data were correlated with the Redlich-Kister equation for binary systems and the Cibulka equation for ternary systems.
