Isobaric vapor–liquid phase equilibria for the binary systems of tert-butanol + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and n-butanol + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for the binary mixtures of tert-butanol (TBA) + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and n-butanol (NBA) + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol were experimentally investigated at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 353.2–458.2 K. The raw experimental data were correlated using the UNIQUAC and NRTL models and used to estimate the interaction parameters between each pair of components in the systems. The experimental activity coefficients were obtained using the gas chromatographic method and compared with the calculated data obtained from these equilibrium models. The results show that UNIQUAC model gives better correlation than NRTL for these binary systems. The liquid–liquid extraction of TBA from aqueous solution using 2-ethyl-1-hexanol was demonstrated by simulation and the variation of separation factor of TBA at several temperatures was reported.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance and dielectric noise study of spectral densities and correlation functions in the glass forming monoalcohol 2-ethyl-1-hexanol

The spectral densities related to various relaxation processes of the glass former 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2E1H), a monohydroxy alcohol, are probed using several nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments as well as via dielectric noise spectroscopy (DNS). On the basis of the spectral density relating to voltage fluctuations, i.e., without the application of external electrical fields, DNS enables the detection of the structural relaxation and of the prominent, about two decades slower Debye process. The NMR-detected spectral density, sensitive to the orientational fluctuations of the hydroxyl deuteron, also reveals dynamics slower than the structural relaxation, but not as slow as the Debye process. Rotational and translational correlation functions of 2E1H are probed using stimulated-echo NMR techniques which could only resolve the structural dynamics or faster processes. The experimental results are discussed with reference to models that were suggested to describe the dynamics in supercooled alcohols.     

Estimation of VLE of binary systems (tert-butanol + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol) and (n-butanol + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol) using GMDH-type neural network

The group method of data handling (GMDH) method was used to estimate (vapour + liquid) equilibrium (VLE) for the binary systems of (tert-butanol + 2-ethy1-1-hexanol) and (n-butanol + 2-ethy1-1-hexanol). Using this method, a new model was proposed, which is suitable for predicting the VLE data. In this publication, the proposed model was ‘trained’ before requested predictions. The data set was divided into two parts: 70% were used as data for ‘training’ (either 10 or 12), and 30% were used as a test set, which were randomly extracted from the database (either 14 or 16). After the training on the input–output process, the predicted values were compared with those of experimental values in order to evaluate the performance of the GMDH neural network method. The model values showed a very good regression with the experimental results.     

Catalytic hydrogen transfer over MgO, VI dehydrogenation of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol

The dehydrogenation of 2-ethyl-l-hexanol to 2-ethylhexanal by hydrogen exchange with aliphatic aldehydes has been studied over MgO. As hydrogen acceptors acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde and isobutyraldehyde were used. Reaction with propionaldehyde was found to be an effective synthetic route for 2-ethylhexanal preparation, whereas during reactions with acetaldehyde and isobutyraldehyde a gradual catalyst deactivation vs. time-on-stream was observed.Part V in Stud.

LLE of ternary mixtures of water/acetone/2-ethyl-1-hexanol at different temperatures

Experimental liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data were determined for a ternary system water+acetone+2-ethyl-1-hexanol at various temperatures of 298.2, 303.2, 308.2, and 313.2 K and atmospheric pressure. The UNIQUAC model was used to correlate the experimental tie-line data. The LLE data were correlated fairly well with this solution model, indicating the reliability of the UNIQUAC equation for this ternary system. The average root mean square deviation between the observed and calculated mole fractions was 1.87%. The mutual solubility of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and water was also investigated by the addition of acetone at different temperatures.

A comparative study of 1-octanol and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol transformations over silica supported NiO, MnO₂, Cr₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, and ZnO has been performed. Zinca containing catalyst was found to be the most active in dehydrogenation and dehydration of the alcohols studied. ZnO dehydrogenating activity increased with supported oxide load.     

Estimation of (vapour + liquid) equilibrium of binary systems (tert-butanol + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol) and (n-butanol + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol) using an artificial neural network

(Vapour + liquid) equilibrium (VLE) data are important for designing and modelling of process equipment. Since it is not always possible to carry out experiments at all possible temperatures and pressures, generally thermodynamic models based on equations of state are used for estimation of VLE. In this paper, an alternate tool, i.e. the artificial neural network technique has been applied for estimation of VLE for the binary systems viz. (tert-butanol + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol) and (n-butanol + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol). The temperature range over which these models are valid is (353.2 to 458.2) K at atmospheric pressure. The average absolute deviation for the temperature output was in range 2% to 3.3%. The results were then compared with experimental data.     

Catalytic transformations of 1-octanol and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol over oxide catalysts, part II. Promoted zinc oxide as a catalyst

Silica supported ZnO was modified with alkaline promoters to reduce its dehydrating activity towards 1-octanol and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. Neutralization of zinca acidic centers led to the significant decrease of the yields of alkenes formed during dehydration. Simultaneously, the enhancement of ZnO dehydrogenating activity was observed. The effect of modifier diminished in the sequence: K₂CO₃>KOH>Na₂CO₃.     

Density,speed of sound,heat capacity,and related properties of 1-hexanol and 2-ethyl-1-butanol as function of temperature and pressure

The speeds of sound in 1-hexanol and 2-ethyl-1-butanol have been measured over the temperature range from (293.15 to 318.15) K and at pressures up to 101 MPa. The densities have been measured within the temperature range from (283.15 to 343.15 or 353.15) K under atmospheric pressure. For the measurements, a pulse-echo-overlap method and a vibrating tube densimeter have been used. Additionally, in the case of 2-ethyl-1-butanol, the isobaric heat capacities from T = (293.15 to 323.15) K at atmospheric pressure have been measured by means of a DSC calorimeter. The experimental results are then used to calculate the densities and isobaric heat capacities as a function of temperature and pressure by means of a numerical integration technique. The effects of pressure and temperature on these and the related properties are discussed. Densities are correlated by means of the Tait equation.     

Dielectric properties of binary mixtures of three butanediols with 1,4-dioxane and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol at T = 298.2 K

Experimental results of dielectric investigations for solutions of the three butanediols {2,3-butanediol (2,3BD), 1,3-butanediol (1,3BD), and 1,4-butanediol (1,4BD)}, in 1,4-dioxane (1,4DX) are reported for various mole fractions at T = 298.2 K.

Dielectric data of binary mixtures of 1,2-butanediol with 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and 1,4-dioxane at T = (298.2, 308.2, and 318.2) K

Relative permittivity measurements were made on binary mixtures of (1,2-butanediol + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol) and (1,2-butanediol + 1,4-dioxane) for various concentrations at T = (298.2, 308.2, and 318.2) K. The molecular dipole moments were determined using Guggenheim–Debye method in the temperature range of (298.2 to 318.2) K. The variations of effective dipole moment and correlation factor, g, with the mole fraction in these materials were investigated using Kirkwood–Frohlich equation. The pure compounds showed a negative and small temperature coefficient of effective dipole moment. In order to obtain valuable information about heterogeneous interaction (interactions between the unlike molecules), the Kirkwood correlation factor, the Bruggeman dielectric factor and the excess permittivity were calculated. In addition, in order to predict the permittivity data of polar-apolar binary mixtures, five mixing rules were applied.     

Dielectric relaxation studies of 1-hexanol and 1,2-hexanediol in heptane

Solutions of 1-hexanol and 1,2-hexanediol in heptane have been investigated tigated by means of dielectric time domain spectroscopy (TDS). The permittivity spectrum of 1-hexanol in heptane is characterized by a model function containing a sum of three elementary Debye dispersions, while 1,2-hexanediol in heptane is best described by a Cole-Davidson model function. It is shown that dilute solutions of 1-hexanol in heptane have a completely different behavior to that of 1,2-hexanediol. For the diol, the relaxation time levels off at a high value indicating an existence of higher hydrogen bonded complexes. It is possible to quantify the relative amount of monomeric 1-alcohol molecules from the dielectric spectrum. The monomerization rate for 1-hexanol upon dilution with heptane is initially low, but increases rapidly for mole fractions of heptane exceeding 0.4.

Kinetics studies of 5-methyl-2-hexanol, 2,2-dimethyl-3-hexanol,and 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentanol with chlorine atoms: Photooxidation mechanism of 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentanol

The rate constants for the reaction between chlorine atoms and either 5-methyl-2-hexanol, 2,2-dimethyl-3-hexanol, or 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentanol at 298 K were determined using the relative method with 2-butanol and 1-pentanol as reference compounds. The values obtained for 5-methyl-2-hexanol, 2,2-dimethyl-3-hexanol, and 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentanol (k × 10¹⁰ cm³ molec⁻¹ s⁻¹) were, respectively, (2.64 ± 0.5), (2.72 ± 0.5), and (2.50 ± 0.4), in agreement with the values of the rate constants reported in bibliography for similar alcohols and the values estimated by structure activity relationship methods. The photooxidation products of 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentanol initiated by chlorine atoms were identified (formaldehyde, 2-propanone, 2,2-dimethyl propanal, 4,4,-dimethyl-2-pentanone, and 3,3-dimethylbutanal), and the reaction mechanism was determined.
