(Liquid + liquid) equilibria for mixtures of (ethylene glycol + benzene + cyclohexane) at temperatures (298.15, 308.15, and 318.15) K

Experimental (liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) data for a ternary system containing (ethylene glycol + benzene + cyclohexane) were determined at temperatures (298.15, 308.15, and 318.15) K and at atmospheric pressure. The experimental distribution coefficients and selectivity factors are presented to evaluate the efficiency of the solvent for extraction of benzene from cyclohexane. The effect of temperature in extraction of benzene from the (benzene + cyclohexane) mixture indicated that at lower temperatures the selectivity (S) is higher, but the distribution coefficient (K) is rather lower. The LLE results for the system studied were used to obtain binary interaction parameters in the UNIQUAC and NRTL models by minimizing the root mean square deviations (RMSD) between the experimental results and calculated results. Using the interaction parameters obtained, the phase equilibria in the systems were calculated and plotted. The NRTL model fits the (liquid + liquid) equilibrium data of the mixture studied slightly better. The root mean square deviations (RMSDs) obtained comparing calculated and experimental two-phase compositions are 0.92% for the NRTL model and 0.95% for the UNIQUAC model.     

Densities,surface tensions,and derived surface thermodynamics properties of (trimethylbenzene + propyl acetate,or butyl acetate) from T = 298.15 K to 313.15 K

Densities (ρ) for binary systems of (1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, or 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene + propyl acetate, or butyl acetate) were determined at four temperatures (298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15) K over the full mole fraction range. The excess molar volumes (V^E) calculated from the density data show that the deviations from ideal behaviour in the systems (all being positive, excepting 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene + butyl acetate system) become more positive with the temperature increasing. Surface tensions (σ) of these binary systems were measured at the same temperatures (298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15) K by the pendant drop method, the surface tension deviations (δσ) for all system are negative, and decrease with the temperature increasing. The V^E and δσ are fitted to the Redlich–Kister polynomial equation. Surface tensions were also used to estimate surface entropy (S_σ) and surface enthalpy (H_σ).     

Speeds of sound,densities, isentropic compressibilities of the system (methanol + polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether 250) at temperatures from 293.15 to 333.15 K

In this work, our objective is to contribute to the knowledge of the mixtures (alcohol + polyalkyl ether glycol) used in absorption refrigeration systems and heat pumps. The determination of different thermophysical properties is essential to understand the interactions among different molecules in liquid mixtures. Therefore, experimental data of speed of sound and density together with calculated values of isentropic compressibility for the refrigerant-absorbent system (methanol + polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether 250) (or Pegdme 250) have been gathered here over the whole range of composition at temperatures from T=293.15 to 333.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The two previous experimental properties were measured with a digital vibrating tube analyser Anton Paar DSA-48. Also, the excess molar volumes and the increments of the speed of sound and the isentropic compressibility have been determined for each composition and they were fitted to a variable-degree polynomial equation.     

Excess molar enthalpies of ternary mixtures (dibutyl ether or dipropyl ether + 2,2-dimethylbutane + 2,3-dimethylbutane) at the temperature 298.15 K

Excess molar enthalpies, measured at the temperature 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure conditions by means of a flow microcalorimeter, are reported for the ternary mixtures {x₁(dibutyl ether or dipropyl ether) + x₂ 2,2-dimethylbutane + (1 ? x₁ ? x₂) 2,3-dimethylbutane}. A smooth representation of the results is described and the constant-enthalpy contours for each ternary system are displayed on the respective Roozeboom diagrams. The results serve to show that good estimates of the excess molar enthalpies of the ternary systems can be obtained from the Liebermann–Fried model by using the physical properties of the constituent pure components and the parameters determined from the binary mixtures of these components.     

Quaternary (liquid + liquid) equilibria for (methanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane + toluene + 1,1-dimethylpropyl methyl ether or 1,1-dimethylethyl methyl ether) at T = 298.15 K

The experimental equilibrium tie-lines of two quaternary mixtures for (methanol + 1,1-dimethylpropyl methyl ether + toluene + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane) and (methanol + 1,1-dimethylethyl methyl ether + toluene + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane) were measured at the temperature 298.15 K and ambient pressure. The quaternary experimental results and their constituent ternaries have been satisfactorily predicted using binary parameters alone obtained by an associated-solution model that takes into account association of methanol molecules and solvation between (methanol + polar molecules) with allowance for a non-polar interaction given by an extended form of the UNIQUAC model. The results are further compared with those correlated by modified and extended forms of the UNIQUAC models that include multi-body interaction parameters in addition to binary ones.     

Relative permittivity of the mixtures (dimethyl or diethyl carbonate) + n-nonane from T=288.15 K to T=308.15 K

Relative permittivities of the binary liquid mixtures {(CH₃O)₂CO or C₅H₁₀O₃}+CH₃(CH₂)₇CH₃ at temperatures from 288.15 K to 308.15 K and atmospheric pressure, have been determined over the whole composition range. Values of relative permittivity were measured using a HP4284A precision LCR meter together with the measuring cell HP16452A at frequency 1 MHz. Relative permittivity increments were determined from experimental data and fitted to a variable-degree polynomial function. Their parameters and root mean square deviations were calculated. Different mixing rules were used for predicting the permittivity of these mixtures. The predictions are better when the volume change on mixing is considered.     

Excess molar enthalpies of (methanol + 1-propanol) + oxane or 1,4-dioxane mixtures at the temperature 298.15 K

Experimental excess molar enthalpies H_m^E at the temperature 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure in a flow microcalorimeter are reported for the ternary mixtures: {x₁CH₃OH+x₂C₂H₅OH+(1−x₁−x₂)C₅H₁₀O} and {x₁CH₃OH+x₂C₂H₅OH+(1−x₁−x₂)C₄H₈O₂}. The results have been correlated by means of a polynomial equation and used to construct constant excess enthalpy contours. Further, the results have been compared with those calculated from a UNIQUAC associated-solution model taking into consideration the molecular association of like alcohols, solvation between unlike alcohols and alcohols with oxane (tetrahydropyran) or 1,4-dioxane using only binary information.     

Excess molar enthalpies of the binary systems: (Dibutyl ether + isomers of pentanol) at T = (298.15 and 308.15) K

In this work, we present the experimental measurements of excess molar enthalpies for the binary systems of dibutyl ether with different isomers of pentanol: 1-pentanol, 2-pentanol, 3-pentanol, 3-methyl-2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol and 2-methyl-2-butanol; all of them at T = (298.15 and 308.15) K and atmospheric pressure. Our goal was to determine the influence of the OH-group position on the different isomers of pentanol in the excess molar enthalpies of the binary systems studied. For this purpose we have analysed their experimental effective-reduced dipole moments. All values of excess molar enthalpies for the mixtures studied are positive whereas the results obtained for the effective-reduced dipole moments of the isomers of pentanol are similar.     

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria of (water + linalool + limonene) ternary system at T = (298.15, 308.15, and 318.15) K

(Liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) data for {water (1) + linalool (2) + limonene (3)} ternary system at T = (298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 ± 0.05) K are reported. The organic chemicals were quantified by gas chromatography using a flame ionisation detector while water was quantified using a thermal conductivity detector. The effect of the temperature on (liquid + liquid) equilibrium is determined and discussed. Experimental data for the ternary mixture 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 a good correlation of the solubility curve at these three temperatures, while comparing the calculated values with the experimental ones, the best fit is obtained with the NRTL model. Finally, the UNIFAC model provides poor results, since it predicts a greater heterogeneous region than experimentally observed.     

Excess molar volumes of (an alkane + 1-chloroalkane) atT = 298.15 K

The densities of the following: (pentane  +  1-chloropropane, or 1-chlorobutane, or 1-chloropentane, or 1-chlorohexane), (hexane  +  1-chloropropane, or 1-chlorobutane, or 1-chloropentane, or 1-chlorohexane), (heptane  +  1-chloropropane, or 1-chlorobutane, or 1-chloropentane, or 1-chlorohexane), (octane  +  1-chloropropane, or 1-chlorobutane, or 1-chloropentane, or 1-chlorohexane), were measured at T =  298.15 K by means of a vibrating-tube densimeter. The excess molar volumes V_m^E, calculated from the density data, are negative for (pentane  +  1-chloropentane, or 1-chlorohexane) and (hexane  +  1-chlorohexane) over the entire range of composition. (Pentane  +  1-chlorobutane), (hexane  +  1-chloropentane) and (heptane  +  1-chlorohexane) exhibit an S-shapedV_m^E dependence. For all the other systems,V_m^E is positive. The V_m^Eresults were correlated using the fourth-order Redlich–Kister equation, with the maximum likelihood principle being applied for determining the adjustable parameters.     

Excess molar enthalpies for (benzonitrile + an aromatic hydrocarbon) atT = 298.15 K

The excess molar enthalpies of (benzonitrile  +  benzene, or methylbenzene, or 1,2-dimethylbenzene, or 1,3-dimethylbenzene, or 1,4-dimethylbenzene, or 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, or ethylbenzene) have been determined at T =  298.15 K. The excess molar enthalpies range from  − 10 J · mol ^− 1for methylbenzene to 130 J · mol ^− 1for 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene. The Redlich–Kister equation, the NRTL, and UNIQUAC models were used to correlate the data. The results indicate a relatively strong association between benzonitrile and each of the aromatic compounds, decreasing with increasing methyl substitution on the benzene moiety.     

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria for (benzene + cyclohexane + dimethyl sulfoxide) system at T = (298.15 or 303.15) K: Experimental data and correlation

(Liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) data were measured experimentally at T = (298.15 or 303.15) K and atmospheric pressure for the (benzene + cyclohexane + dimethyl sulfone (DMSO)) system. The Othmer–Tobias equation was applied to verify the reliability of the data. Based on the data, the selectivity of DMSO was estimated and compared with that of ionic liquids. The highest selectivity coefficient of DMSO can reach beyond 14, which means it is able to compete with some ionic liquids and it would be a good extractant to separate benzene from cyclohexane. At the same time, the NRTL model was used to correlate the data and the results show that the model agrees on the experimental data very well.     

Excess molar enthalpies of (acetonitrile + butan-2-one) and (methanol + acetonitrile + butan-2-one) atT = 298.15 K

The excess molar enthalpies of (acetonitrile  +  butan-2-one) and (methanol  +  acetonitrile  +  butan-2-one) were measured atT =  298.15 K and atmospheric pressure using a flow microcalorimeter. The experimental results are correlated with polynomial equations and compared with those calculated from associated solution models taking account into self-association of methanol and acetonitrile as well as solvation between unlike molecules and a non-polar interaction term.     

(Liquid + liquid) equilibrium of the ternary aqueous system containing poly ethylene glycol dimethyl ether 2000 and tri-potassium citrate at different temperatures

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria (LLE) of the {poly ethylene glycol di-methyl ether 2000 (PEGDME₂₀₀₀) + tri-potassium citrate + H₂O} system have been determined experimentally at T = (298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 318.15) K. The effect of temperature on the binodals and tie-lines for the investigated aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) has also been studied. In this work, the three fitting parameters of the Merchuk equation and an empirical equation that we proposed in our previous work were obtained with the temperature dependence expressed in the linear form with (T − T₀) K as a variable. Furthermore, the Othmer–Tobias and Bancroft, a temperature dependent Setschenow-type equation and osmotic virial model, the segment-based local composition models (the extended NRTL and the modified NRTL) were used for the correlation and prediction of the liquid–liquid phase behavior of the system studied. In addition, the effect of the polymers PEGDME₂₀₀₀ and poly ethylene glycol 2000 on the phase forming ability were studied. Also, the free energies of cloud points for this system were calculated from which it was concluded that the increase of the entropy is driving force for formation of studied aqueous two-phase system.     

Excess properties of the binary mixtures of methylcyclohexane + alkanes (C6 to C12) at T = 298.15 K to T = 308.15 K

Experimental values of density, viscosity, and refractive index at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K while the speed of sound at T = 298.15 K in the binary mixtures of methylcyclohexane with n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane, n-decane, n-dodecane, and iso-octane are presented over the entire mole fraction range of the binary mixtures. Using these data, excess molar volume, deviations in viscosity, molar refraction, speed of sound, and isentropic compressibility are calculated. All the computed quantities are fitted to Redlich and Kister equation to derive the coefficients and estimate the standard error values. Such a study on model calculations in addition to presentation of experimental data on binary mixtures are useful to understand the mixing behaviour of liquids in terms of molecular interactions and orientational order–disorder effects.     

Volumetric properties of (an organic compound + di-n-butyl ether) atT = 298.15 K

Excess molar volumes V_m^Eof {di- n -butyl ether (DBE)  +  a monofunctional organic compound} have been determined atT =  298.15 K over the whole composition range by means of a vibrating-tube densimeter. TheV_m^E values were either positive (propylamine, or butylamine, or acetone, or tetrahydrofuran  +  DBE) or negative (methanol, or butanol, or diethyl ether, or cyclopentanone, or acetonitrile  +  DBE). Markedly asymmetric V_m^Ecurves were displayed by (DBE  +  methanol) and (DBE  +  acetonitrile). Partial molar volumes __ V_m^oat infinite dilution in DBE, both from this work and the literature, were analysed in terms of an additivity scheme, and the group contributions thus obtained were discussed and compared with analogous results in water. DBE revealed a greater capability of distinguishing between polar and non-polar solutes, as well as in discriminating differently shaped molecules (unbranched, branched, cyclic). The limiting slopes of apparent excess molar volumes are evaluated and briefly discussed in terms of solute–solute and solute–solvent interactions.
