Isothermal (vapour + liquid) equilibria and excess Gibbs free energies in some binary (cyclopentanone + chloroalkane) mixtures at temperatures from 298.15 K to 318.15 K

The vapour pressures of binary (cyclopentanone + 1-chlorobutane, +1,3-dichloropropane, and +1,4-dichlorobutane) mixtures, were measured at the temperatures of (298.15, 308.15, and 318.15) K. The vapour pressures vs. liquid phase composition data have been used to calculate the excess molar Gibbs free energies G^E of the investigated systems, using Barker’s method. Redlich–Kister, Wilson and NRTL equations, taking into account the vapor phase imperfection in terms of the second virial coefficient, have represented the G^E values. No significant difference between G^E values obtained with these equations has been observed.     

(Vapor-liquid) equilibria and excess Gibbs free energy functions of (ethanol + glycerol), or (water + glycerol) binary mixtures at several temperatures

The vapor pressures of (ethanol + glycerol) and (water + glycerol) binary mixtures were measured by means of two static devices at temperatures between (273 and 353 (or 363)) K. The data were correlated with the Antoine equation. From these data, excess Gibbs free energy functions (G^E) were calculated for several constant temperatures and fitted to a fourth-order Redlich–Kister equation using the Barker method. The (ethanol + glycerol) binary system exhibits positive deviations in G^E where for the (water + glycerol) mixture, the G^E is negative for all temperatures investigated over the whole composition. Additionally, the NRTL, UNIQUAC and Modified UNIFAC (Do) models have been used for the correlation or prediction of the total pressure.     

Excess properties and vapour pressure of (3-diethylaminopropylamine + n-alkanes)

The vapour pressures of liquid (3-diethylaminopropylamine (3-DEPA) + n-heptane) mixtures were measured by a static method between T = (303.15 and 343.15) K at 10 K intervals. The molar excess enthalpies H^E at T = 303.15 K were measured for the systems {3-DEPA + C_nH_2n+2 (n = 6, 7, 12)}. The molar excess Gibbs free energies G^E were obtained with Barker’s method and fitted to the Redlich–Kister equation. The Wilson equation was also used. Deviations between experimental and predicted G^E and H^E, by using group contribution UNIFAC (Gmehling version) model, were evaluated.     

Viscosity of (ethane-1,2-diol + 1,2-dimethoxyethane + water) at temperatures from 263.15 K to 353.15 K

The kinematic viscosity ν for (ethane-1,2-diol  +  1,2-dimethoxyethane  +  water) was measured at 14 different ternary compositions covering the whole miscibility field, and at 19 temperatures in the range 263.15 ⩽T /  K ⩽ 353.15. The experimental values were fitted using empirical equations of the type ν = ν (T) and ν = ν (x_i), respectively, in order to provide reliable models to account for the behaviour of the system. The excess kinematic viscosity ν^Ehas been determined and interpreted in terms of the type and nature of the interactions among the components of the mixture. Using the experimental ν data, the thermodynamic properties ( ΔG ^* , ΔH ^* ,ΔS ^*  ) of the viscous flow have been obtained from the Eyring’s approach and standard thermodynamic equations. Furthermore, excess mixing functions, such asΔG ^* E , have been determined, and found to evidence the existence of quite strong specific interactions among the components, probably due to the formation of hydrogen bonds and dipolar networks. However, all the calculated excess mixing properties suggest the absence of stable three-component adducts.     

Excess molar volume and viscosity study for the ternary system tetrahydrofuran (1) + 1-chlorobutane (2) + 2-butanol (3) at 283.15, 298.15 and 313.15 K

This work reports the measured density, ρ, and viscosity, η, values of liquid mixtures of tetrahydrofuran (1) + 1-chlorobutane (2) + 2-butanol (3) at temperatures of 283.15, 298.15 and 313.15 K over a range of mole fractions and atmospheric pressure. Excess molar volume, V^E, viscosity deviations, Δη, and excess free energies of activation of viscous flow, ΔG^*E, have been calculated from experimental data and fitted to Cibulka, Singh et al. and Nagata and Sakura equations. The results were analyzed in terms of the molecular interaction between the components of the mixtures. Excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations were predicted from binary contributions using geometrical solution models, Tsao and Smith; Jacob and Fitzner; Kholer; Rastogi et al.; Radojkovic et al. Finally, experimental results are compared with those obtained by applying group-contribution method proposed by Wu.     

Phase equilibria properties of binary and ternary systems containing di-isopropyl ether + isobutanol + benzene at 313.15 K

Isothermal vapour–liquid equilibrium data have been measured for the ternary system (di-isopropyl ether + isobutanol + benzene) and two of the binary systems involved (di-isopropyl ether + isobutanol) and (isobutanol + benzene) at 313.15 K. A static technique consisting of an isothermal total pressure cell was used for the measurements. Data reduction by Barker's method provides correlations for G^E using the Margules equation for the binary systems and the Wohl expansion for the ternary system. Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC models have been applied successfully to both the binary and the ternary systems.     

Volumetric study of (2-methoxyethanol + tetrahydrofuran + cyclohexane) at T=298.15 K

The excess molar volumes V_m^E at T=298.15 have been determined in the whole composition domain for (2-methoxyethanol + tetrahydrofuran + cyclohexane) and for the parent binary mixtures. Data on V_m^E are also reported for (2-ethoxyethanol + cyclohexane). All binaries showed positive V_m^E values, small for (methoxyethanol + tetrahydrofuran) and large for the other ones. The ternary V_m^E surface is always positive and exhibits a smooth trend with a maximum corresponding to the binary (2-methoxyethanol + cyclohexane). The capabilities of various models of either predicting or reproducing the ternary data have been compared. The behaviour of V_m^E and of the excess apparent molar volume of the components is discussed in both binary and ternary mixtures. The results suggest that hydrogen bonding decreases with alcohol dilution and increases with the tetrahydrofuran content in the ternary solutions.     

Experimental determination of the isothermal (vapour + liquid) equilibria of binary aqueous solutions of sec-butylamine and cyclohexylamine at several temperatures

The vapour pressures of (sec-butylamine + water), (cyclohexylamine + water) binary mixtures, and of pure sec-butylamine and cyclohexylamine components were measured by means of two static devices at temperatures between 293 (or 273) K and 363 K. The data were correlated with the Antoine equation. From these data, excess Gibbs functions (G^E) were calculated for several constant temperatures and fitted to a fourth-order Redlich–Kister equation using the Barker’s method. The (cyclohexylamine + water) system shows positive azeotropic behaviour for all investigated temperatures. The two binary mixtures exhibit positive deviations in G^E for all investigated temperatures over the whole composition range.

The relationship of the liquid composition (x₁) as a function of temperature (T) was found to be well represented by the Wilson model. Computed vapour phase mole fractions, activity coefficients and the measured values along with optimum Wilson parameters are presented.

The vapour pressures of liquid {3-diethylaminopropylamine (3-DEPA) + cyclohexane} were measured by a static method between T = (273.15 and 363.15) K at 10 K intervals. The excess molar volumes V^E at 298.15 K and excess molar enthalpies H^E at 303.15 K were also measured. The molar excess Gibbs free energies G^E were obtained with Barker’s method and fitted to the Redlich–Kister equation. The Wilson equation was also used.

High-pressure (vapour + liquid) equilibria for ternary systems composed by {(E)-2-hexenal or hexanal + carbon dioxide + water}: Partition coefficient measurement

A new apparatus based on a static–analytic method assembled in this work was utilised to perform high-pressure (vapour + liquid) equilibria measurements of aqueous ternary systems. This work includes values of isothermal partition coefficients between CO₂ and water of two apple aroma constituents, (E)-2-hexenal and hexanal. Additionally, this work reports new experimental (vapour + liquid) equilibria measurements for the ternary systems (CO₂ + (E)-2-hexenal + water) and (CO₂ + hexanal + water), at fixed liquid phase composition (600 mg · kg⁻¹), at temperatures of (313, 323 and 333) K and at pressures from (8 to 19) MPa. Vapour liquid interphase was checked and monitored visually for all the systems studied in this work. No liquid immiscibility was observed at the composition, temperatures and pressures studied. In order to suggest reasonable operation conditions for fractionation of aromas with dense carbon dioxide, partition coefficients of the aroma compounds between CO₂ and water along with their separation factors from water were calculated. Partition coefficients of (E)-2-hexenal between CO₂ and water were in the range of (6 to 91) and where found to be near six times higher than those of hexanal (9 to 17). Very high separation factors from water were observed (∼10⁴) especially for (E)-2-hexenal. The highest separation factor, for both compounds, was found at a temperature of 313 K and pressures from (12 to 14) MPa.     

Thermodynamic properties of (tetradecane + benzene, + toluene, + chlorobenzene, + bromobenzene, + anisole) binary mixtures at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K

Density ρ, viscosity η, and refractive index n_D, values for (tetradecane + benzene, + toluene, + chlorobenzene, + bromobenzene, + anisole) binary mixtures over the entire range of mole fraction have been measured at temperatures (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K at atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound u has been measured at T = 298.15 K only. Using these data, excess molar volume V^E, deviations in viscosity Δη, Lorentz–Lorenz molar refraction ΔR, speed of sound Δu, and isentropic compressibility Δk_s have been calculated. These results have been fitted to the Redlich and Kister polynomial equation to estimate the binary interaction parameters and standard deviations. Excess molar volumes have exhibited both positive and negative trends in many mixtures, depending upon the nature of the second component of the mixture. For the (tetradecane + chlorobenzene) binary mixture, an incipient inversion has been observed. Calculated thermodynamic quantities have been discussed in terms of intermolecular interactions between mixing components.     

Excess enthalpies and excess volumes of (2-methoxyethanol + 1,4-dioxane) and (1,2-dimethoxyethane + benzene) at temperatures between 283.15 K and 313.15 K

The measurement of excess enthalpies, H^E, at T=298.15 K and densities at temperatures between 283.15 K and 313.15 K are reported for the (2-methoxyethanol + 1,4-dioxane) and (1,2-dimethoxyethane + benzene) systems. The values of H^E and the excess volumes, V^E, are positive, and the temperature dependence of V^E is quite small for (2-methoxyethanol + 1,4-dioxane). The (1,2-dimethoxyethane + benzene) system shows a negative H^E and sigmoid curves in V^E, which change sign from positive to negative with an increase in 1,2-dimethoxyethane. The temperature dependence of V^E for this system is negative.     

Investigation of the isothermal (vapour + liquid) equilibria of aqueous 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), N-benzylethanolamine,or 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol solutions at several temperatures

The vapour pressures of (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) + water), (N-benzylethanolamine + water), or (3-dimethylamino-1-propanol + water) binary mixtures, and of pure AMP and 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol components were measured by means of two static devices at temperatures between 283 K and 363 K. The data were correlated with the Antoine equation. From these data, excess Gibbs functions (G^E) were calculated for several constant temperatures and fitted to a fourth-order Redlich–Kister equation using the Barker’s method. The {2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) + water} binary mixture exhibits negative deviations in G^E (at T < 353.15 K) and a sinusoidal shape for G^E for the higher temperatures over the whole composition range. For the aqueous N-benzylethanolamine solution, a S shape is observed for the G^E for all investigated temperatures over the whole composition range. The (3-dimethylamino-1-propanol + water) binary mixture exhibits negative deviations in G^E (at T < 293.15 K), positive deviations in G^E (for 293.15 K < T < 353.15 K) and a sinusoidal shape for G^E for the higher temperatures over the whole composition range.     

Vapour pressures,densities, and viscosities of the (water + lithium bromide + potassium acetate) system and (water + lithium bromide + sodium lactate) system

Measurements of thermophysical properties (vapour pressure, density, and viscosity) of the (water + lithium bromide + potassium acetate) system LiBr:CH₃COOK = 2:1 by mass ratio and the (water + lithium bromide + sodium lactate) system LiBr:CH₃CH(OH)COONa = 2:1 by mass ratio were measured. The system, a possible new working fluid for absorption heat pump, consists of absorbent (LiBr + CH₃COOK) or (LiBr + CH₃CH(OH)COONa) and refrigerant H₂O. The vapour pressures were measured in the ranges of temperature and absorbent concentration from T = (293.15 to 333.15) K and from mass fraction 0.20 to 0.50, densities and viscosities were measured from T = (293.15 to 323.15) K and from mass fraction 0.20 to 0.40. The experimental data were correlated with an Antoine-type equation. Densities and viscosities were measured in the same range of temperature and absorbent concentration as that of the vapour pressure. Regression equations for densities and viscosities were obtained with a minimum mean square error criterion.     

Phase equilibria and molecular interaction studies on (naphthols + vanillin) systems

Phase equilibria between (α-naphthol + vanillin) and (β-naphthol + vanillin) systems have been studied by thaw-melt method and the results show the formation of simple eutectic mixtures. Crystallization velocities of components and eutectic mixtures were determined at different stages under cooling. With the help of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), the enthalpy of fusion of components and eutectic mixtures was determined and from the values excess thermodynamic functions viz., excess Gibbs free energy (G^E), excess entropy (S^E), excess enthalpy (H^E) of hypo-, hyper- and eutectic mixtures were calculated. Flexural strength measurements were made in order to understand the non-ideal nature of eutectics. FT-IR spectral studies indicate the formation of hydrogen bond in the eutectic mixture. Anisotropic and isotropic microstructural studies of components, hypo-, hyper- and eutectic mixtures were made. Jackson’s roughness parameter was calculated and found to be greater than 2 suggesting the faceted morphology with irregular structures. The overall results have shown that there is a weak molecular interaction between the components in the eutectic mixtures and the (α-naphthol + vanillin) eutectic is more stable as compared to the (β-naphthol + vanillin) eutectic system.     

Phase equilibria study of the binary systems (N-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tosylate ionic liquid + an alcohol)

Isothermal (vapour + liquid) equilibrium data, (VLE) have been measured by an ebulliometric method for the binary mixtures of ionic liquid (IL) {N-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tosylate (p-toluenesulfonate) [BMPy][TOS] + ethanol, 1-propanol, and 1-butanol} at T = 373.15 K over the pressure range from p = 0 kPa to p = 110 kPa. (Solid + liquid) phase equilibria (SLE) for the binary systems: ionic liquid (IL) {N-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tosylate (p-toluenesulfonate) [BMPy][TOS] + ethanol and 1-propanol} have been determined at ambient pressure. A dynamic method was used over a broad range of mole fractions and temperatures from (320 to 390) K. For the binary systems containing alcohol, it was noticed that with increasing chain length of alcohol vapour pressure of the mixture and the solubility of the IL decreases. Well-known Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC equations have been used to correlate simultaneously the experimental VLE and SLE data sets with the same parameters. The excess molar Gibbs free energy, G^E function in general was negative in all systems at high temperature (VLE) and positive at low temperatures (SLE).     

Isothermal (vapour + liquid) equilibrium at several temperatures of (1-chlorobutane + 1-butanol,or 2-methyl-2-propanol)

Vapour pressures of (1-chlorobutane  +  1-butanol, or 2-methyl-2-propanol) at several temperatures between T =  278.15 and T =  323.15 K were measured by a static method. Reduction of the vapour pressures to obtain activity coefficients and excess molar Gibbs energies was carried out by fitting the vapour pressure data to the Redlich–Kister equation according to Barker’s method. For (1-chlorobutane  +  2-methyl-2-propanol) azeotropic mixtures with a minimum boiling temperature were observed over the whole temperature range.     

(Vapour + liquid) equilibrium in (N,N-dimethylacetamide + ethanol + water) at the temperature 313.15 K

Total vapour pressures, measured at the temperature 313.15 K, are reported for the ternary mixture (N,N-dimethylacetamide + ethanol + water), and for binary constituent (N,N-dimethylacetamide + ethanol). The present results are also compared with previously obtained data for (amide + ethanol) binary mixtures, where amide = N-methylformamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylacetamide, 2-pyrrolidinone, and N-methylpyrrolidinone. We found that excess Gibbs free energy of mixing for binary (amide + ethanol) mixtures varies roughly linearly with the molar volume of amide.
