Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibrium data for the binary mixture difluoromethane (HFC-32) + ethyl fluoride (HFC-161) over a temperature range from 253.15 K to 303.15 K

Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibrium data of difluoromethane (HFC-32) + ethyl fluoride (HFC-161) mixture in the range of temperatures from 253.15 K to 303.15 K have been measured in the wide range of compositions. The experimental method used for this work is the single-cycle type. Using Peng–Robinson (PR) equation of state, combined with the first Modified Huron-Vidal (MHV1) mixing rule and Wilson model, the vapor–liquid equilibrium data are correlated. The correlation results have a good agreement with the experiment results. The average absolute vapor composition deviation is within 0.0125, and its largest absolute deviation of the vapor composition is 0.0568; the average relative pressure deviation is within 0.76% and its largest relative pressure deviation is 2.87%. In addition, the results reveal that there is no azeotrope in the binary system, and their temperature glides are small.

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium data at 50, 75, and 94 kPa have been determined for the binary system ETBE + propan-1-ol, in the temperature range 325–368 K. The measurements were made in a vapor–liquid equilibrium still with circulation of both phases. Mixing volumes have been also determined from density measurements at 298.15 K and 101.3 kPa and, at the same temperature and pressure, the dependence of interfacial tension on concentration has been measured using the pendant drop technique. According to experimental results, the mixture presents positive deviation from ideal behavior and azeotropy is present at 75 and 94 kPa. No azeotrope was detected at 50 kPa. The mixing volumes of the system are negative over the whole mole fraction range, and the interfacial tensions exhibit negative deviation from the linear behavior. The activity coefficients and boiling points of the solutions were well correlated with the mole fraction using the Wohl, Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC equations. Excess volume data and interfacial tensions were correlated using the Redlich–Kister model.

The effect of the temperature on liquid-liquid equilibrium is determined and discussed. Ternary system is available from the literature at T = 298 K. All chemicals were quantified by gas chromatography using a thermal conductivity detector. The solubility data for methanol + hexane and the upper critical temperature (UCST) at 308.3 K was reported. The tie line data for the ternary system were satisfactorily correlated by the Othmer and Tobias method, and the plait point coordinates for the three temperatures were estimated. Experimental data for the ternary system are compared with values calculated by the NRTL and UNIQUAC equations, and predicted by means of the UNIFAC group contribution method. It is found that the UNIQUAC and NRTL models provide similar good correlations of the equilibrium data at these three temperatures. Finally, the UNIFAC model predicts an immiscibility region larger than the experimental observed. Distribution coefficients were also analysed through distribution curves.
