Liquid–Liquid Equilibria of the Methanol + Ethylbenzene + Methylcyclohexane Ternary System at 278.15, 283.15, and 293.15 K

Liquid–liquid equilibria of the methanol + ethylbenzene + methylcyclohexane ternary system are reported at 278.15, 283.15, and 293.15 K. The effect of the temperature on the liquid–liquid equilibrium is discussed. All chemical concentrations were quantified by gas chromatography using a thermal conductivity detector. Experimental data for the ternary system are compared with values calculated by the NRTL and UNIQUAC equations. It was found that both equations gave comparable quality representations of the experimental data for this ternary system. Distribution curves were also analyzed. Data for the ternary system is available from the literature at 303.15 K.     

Liquid—Liquid Equilibria for the Water-ethanol-methyl Ethyl Ketone Ternary System at 298.15 and 318.15 K

Abstract

Ternary liquid—liquid equilibrium data for the system water-ethanol-methyl ethyl ketone were obtained at 298.15 and 318.15 K. Data for the binodal curves have been determined by the cloud-point method and conjugate points on tie-lines were determined by gas-chromatographic analysis. Tie-line data at each temperature were satisfactorily correlated by the Othmer and Tobias' method and the plait points coordinates were estimated. The experimental data were also fitted with the UNIFAC group contribution method for the activity coefficients using the isoactivity conditions as restraint equations and with the NRTL and UNIQUAC models.     

Conductivities of Several Ternary Electrolyte Solutions and Their Binary Subsystems at 293.15, 298.15, and 303.15 K

Conductivities were measured for the ternary systems NaNO₃–KNO₃–H₂O, NaCl–BaCl₂–H₂O, NaCl–LaCl₃–H₂O, and their binary subsystems NaNO₃–H₂O, KNO₃–H₂O, NaCl–H₂O, BaCl₂–H₂O, and LaCl₃–H₂O at (293.15, 298.15 and 303.15) K. The results were used to verify the generalized Young’s rule and the semi-ideal solution theory. Comparison of the results shows that the average relative differences between the predicted and measured conductivities are ≤4.2×10⁻³ for NaNO₃–KNO₃–H₂O, ≤4.6×10⁻³ for NaCl–BaCl₂–H₂O, and ≤8.9×10⁻³ for NaCl–LaCl₃–H₂O, indicating that the generalized Young’s rule and the semi-ideal solution theory can provide good predictions for the conductivity of mixed electrolyte solutions in terms of the data from their binary subsystems.     

Liquid–Liquid Equilibria of Some Aliphatic Alcohols + Disodium Hydrogen Citrate + Water Ternary Systems at 298.15 K

In this paper, the liquid?Cliquid equilibria for 1-propanol, 2-propanol or 2-methyl-2-propanol + disodium hydrogen citrate aqueous two-phase systems at 298.15 K were studied. The experimental binodal curves at 298.15?K are reported, and the parameters of the Merchuk equation, modified as a nonlinear function of mixed solvent properties and used for the simultaneous correlation of the experimental binodal data. Moreover, the salting-out ability of different salts and different alcohols with different anions is discussed. Additionally, experimental tie-line data are reported at 298.15 K. The generalized electrolyte-NRTL model of the mixed solvent electrolyte systems (e-NRTL) satisfactorily used for the correlation of the tie-line compositions; restricted binary interaction parameters were also obtained.     

Partial Molar Volumes of Glycine and dl-Alanine in Aqueous Ammonium Sulfate Solutions at 278.15, 288.15, 298.15 and 308.15 K

In this work, the partial molar volumes of glycine and dl-alanine in aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfate at 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.7, and 1.0 mol·kg^?1 are determined between 278.15 and 308.15 K. Transfer volumes were obtained, which are larger for glycine than dl-alanine. On the contrary, the hydration numbers are higher for dl-alanine than glycine, and dehydration of the amino acids is observed with increasing temperature or salt molality. The data suggest that interactions between ion and charged/hydrophilic groups are predominant and, by applying the methodology proposed by Friedman and Krishnan, it was concluded that they are mainly pairwise. A group-contribution scheme has been successfully applied to the pairwise volumetric interaction coefficient. Finally, the dehydration effect on glycine, alanine and serine in the presence of different electrolytes has been rationalized in terms of the charge density and a parameter accounting for the cation’s hydration.     

Influence of Temperature on Liquid–Liquid Equilibrium of Methanol + Toluene + Hexane Ternary Systems at Atmospheric Pressure

Phase equilibria of methanol?+?toluene?+?hexane ternary systems at (278.15, 283.15, 288.15 and 293.15) K at atmospheric pressure were investigated. The influence of temperature on the liquid–liquid equilibrium is discussed. All chemicals were quantified using gas chromatograph with a thermal conductivity detector coupled to a ChemStation and nitrogen as gas carrier, their mass fractions were higher than 0.999. From literature are found two articles from the same system at different temperatures studied here. Experimental data are compared with literature values. Values calculated using the NRTL and UNIQUAC equations are compared with the experimental data and it is found that the UNIQUAC equation fitted the experimental data better than the NRTL model for this ternary system.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Excess Isentropic Compressibilities of o-Toluidine + Tetrahydropyran with Pyridine or Benzene or Toluene Ternary Mixtures at 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15 K

The densities, ρ ₁₂₃, and speeds of sound, u ₁₂₃, of ternary o-toluidine (OT, 1) + tetrahydropyran (THP, 2) + pyridine (Py) or benzene or toluene (3) mixtures have been measured as a function of composition at 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15 K. Values of the excess molar volumes, $ V_{123}^{\text{E}} , $ and excess isentropic compressibilities, $ (\kappa_{\text{S}}^{\text{E}} )_{123} , $ of the studied mixtures have been determined by employing the measured experimental data. The observed thermodynamic properties were fitted with the Redlich–Kister equation to determine adjustable ternary parameters and standard deviations. The $ V_{123}^{\text{E}} $ and $ (\kappa_{\text{S}}^{\text{E}} )_{123} $ values were also analyzed in terms of Graph theory. It was observed that Graph theory correctly predicts the sign as well as magnitude of $ V_{123}^{\text{E}} $ and $ (\kappa_{\text{S}}^{\text{E}} )_{123} $ values of the investigated mixtures. Analysis of the data suggests strong interactions and a more close packed arrangement in OT (1) + THP (2) + Py (3) mixtures as compared to those of the OT (1) + THP (2) + benzene (3) or toluene (3) mixtures. This may be due to the presence of a nitrogen atom in Py which results in stronger interactions for the OT:THP molecular entity as compared to those with benzene or toluene.     

Quaternary Liquid–Liquid Equilibria for Aqueous Systems Containing Dimethyl Carbonate at 298.15 K

Experimental tie-line data for two ternary systems, water + dimethyl carbonate + methanol or ethanol, and two quaternary systems, water + dimethyl carbonate + toluene + methanol or ethanol were investigated at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The experimental liquid–liquid equilibrium data were correlated using a modified UNIQUAC activity coefficient model with binary and ternary as well as quaternary parameters. The calculated results were further compared with those obtained from an extended UNIQUAC model.     

Composition of Vapor and Liquid Phases in the Potassium Hydroxide + Methanol Reaction System at 25 °C

The composition of the vapor and liquid phases of the KOH + CH₃OH system has been studied by the gas chromatography (GC) method at 25 °C. It has been found that the methanol vapor concentration, and the quantity of potassium methoxide formed as a result of the acid–base reaction of potassium hydroxide with methanol, both depend on the KOH/CH₃OH mole ratio. The maximum mass fraction of potassium methoxide that forms is 2.6% at the mole ratio 0.018.     

Isothermal Vapor–Liquid Equilibria for the Ternary System 2-Propanol + Tetrahydrofuran + 1-Chlorobutane at 25°C

Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) for mixtures containing 2-propanol + tetrahydrofuran + 1-chlorobutane have been measured using a modified version of a Boublik–Benson still at 25°C. A test of thermodynamic consistency, like the McDermott–Ellis method was applied to the activity coefficients. Excess molar Gibbs free energies were calculated over the entire range composition. Different expressions existing in the literature were used to predict activity coefficients.     

Chemical Equilibrium for the Reacting System Acetic Acid–Ethanol–Ethyl Acetate–Water at 303.15 K, 313.15 K and 323.15 K

The chemical equilibrium (CE) for the quaternary reacting system ethanol–acetic acid–ethyl acetate–water was studied at 303.15, 313.15 and 323.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The CE compositions were determined by gas chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance analytical methods. The thermodynamic constants of CE at 303.15, 313.15 and 323.15 K were calculated based on the obtained experimental data with the use of the NRTL model.
