New experimental excess molar enthalpy data of the ternary systems (dibutyl ether + 1-propanol + benzene, or toluene), and the corresponding binary systems at T = (298.15 and 313.15) K at atmospheric pressure are reported. A quasi-isothermal flow calorimeter has been used to make the measurements. All the binary and ternary systems show endothermic character at both temperatures. The experimental data for the systems have been fitted using the Redlich–Kister rational equation. Considerations with respect the intermolecular interactions amongst ether, alcohol and hydrocarbon compounds are presented.     

Phase equilibrium properties of binary and ternary systems containing di-isopropyl ether + 1-butanol + benzene at 313.15 K

(Vapour + liquid) equilibria data of (di-isopropyl ether + 1-butanol + benzene), (di-isopropyl ether + 1-butanol) and (1-butanol + benzene) have been measured at T = 313.15 K using an isothermal total pressure cell.

For all the systems, large negative deviations from ideality are observed. The binary results have been fitted using the Redlich–Kister type polynomial. The possibility of predicting the ternary results from the binary ones was examined.

Thermodynamic properties of mixing for (1-alkanol + an-alkane + a cyclic alkane) atT = 298.15 K. I. (n-Hexane + cyclohexane + 1-butanol)

Experimental values of density, refractive index and speed of sound of (hexane  +  cyclohexane  +  1-butanol) were measured at T =  298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. From the experimental data, the corresponding derived properties (excess molar volumes, changes of refractive index on mixing and changes of isentropic compressibility) were computed. Such derived values were correlated using several polynomial equations. Several empirical methods were used in the calculation of the properties of ternary systems from binary data. The Nitta–Chao group contribution model was applied to predict excess molar volume for this mixture.

Volumetric properties of ternary (IL + 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate) systems and binary (IL + 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol) and (1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate) systems

The experimental densities for the binary or ternary systems were determined at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 313.15) K. The ionic liquid methyl trioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([MOA]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻) was used for three of the five binary systems studied. The binary systems were ([MOA]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻ + 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol) and (1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate). The ternary systems were {methyl trioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide + 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate}. The binary and ternary excess molar volumes for the above systems were calculated from the experimental density values for each temperature. The Redlich–Kister smoothing polynomial was fitted to the binary excess molar volume data. Virial-Based Mixing Rules were used to correlate the binary excess molar volume data. The binary excess molar volume results showed both negative and positive values over the entire composition range for all the temperatures.The ternary excess molar volume data were successfully correlated with the Cibulka equation using the Redlich–Kister binary parameters.     

Measurements and modeling of LLE and HE for (methanol + 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene), and LLE for (water + methanol + 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene)

Excess enthalpy (H^E) for the binary system of (methanol + 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene) (TMP-1) is reported at T = 298.15 K and 101 kPa. (Liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) for the same system is measured at atmospheric pressure (101 kPa).

The NRTL parameters for the binary system of (water + TMP-1) were fitted to a binary LLE data set from literature. NRTL parameters for the binary system of (water + methanol) were taken from ASPEN PLUS. The LLE for the ternary system was modeled by the three binary NRTL interaction parameters systems. The binary and ternary models were compared against the measured data.     

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.     

Ternary equilibrium data of mixtures consisting of 2-butanol,water, and heavy alcohols at T = 298.2 K

Experimental solubility curves and tie-line data for the (water + 2-butanol + organic solvents) systems were obtained at T = 298.2 K and atmospheric pressure. The organic solvents were four heavy alcohols, i.e. 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, and 1-decanol. The consistency of the experimental tie-line data was determined through the Othmer–Tobias and Bachman equations. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were calculated to evaluate the extracting capability of the solvents. The experimental data were correlated using the NRTL (α = 0.2) and UNIQUAC models, and binary interaction parameters were obtained. The average root mean square deviation values between the experimental and calculated data show the capability of these models, in particular NRTL model, in correlation of the phase behavior of the ternary systems.

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.     

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria in ternary aqueous mixtures of phosphoric acid with organic solvents at T = 298.2 K

(Liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) data for the ternary mixtures of {water (1) + phosphoric acid (2) + organic solvents (3)} were determined at T = 298.2 K and atmospheric pressure. The organic solvents were cyclohexane, 2-methyl-2-butanol (tert-amyl alcohol), and isobutyl acetate. All the investigated systems exhibit Type-1 behaviour of LLE. The immiscibility region was found to be larger for the (water + phosphoric acid + cyclohexane) ternary system. The experimental LLE results were correlated with the NRTL model, and the binary interaction parameters were obtained. The reliability of the experimental tie-line results was tested through the Othmer–Tobias and Bachman correlation equations. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were evaluated over the immiscibility regions and a comparison of the extracting capabilities of the solvents was made with respect to these factors. The experimental results indicate the superiority of cyclohexane as the preferred solvent for the extraction of phosphoric acid from its aqueous solutions.     

(Vapour + liquid) equilibrium and excess Gibbs functions of ternary mixtures containing 1-butanol or 2-butanol,n-hexane,and 1-chlorobutane at T = 298.15 K

Isothermal (vapour + liquid) equilibrium data for the ternary mixtures 1-butanol + n-hexane + 1-chlorobutane and 2-butanol + n-hexane + 1-chlorobutane have been studied with a recirculating still at T = 298.15 K. The experimental data were satisfactorily checked for thermodynamic consistency using the method of van Ness. Activity coefficients and excess Gibbs function have been correlated with the Wilson equation. The G^E values obtained for the two ternary systems are very similar.     

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.     

Ternary and quaternary (liquid + liquid) equilibria for (water + ethanol + α-pinene, +β-pinene,or +limonene) and (water + ethanol + α-pinene + limonene) at the temperature 298.15 K

Thermodynamic study of the system (LiCl + LiNO3 + H2O)

The solubility of the binary system (LiNO₃ + H₂O) from T = 273.15 K to T = 333.15 K and solubility isotherms of the ternary system (LiCl + LiNO₃ + H₂O) were elaborately measured at T = 273.15 K and T = 323.15 K. These solubility data, as well as water activities in the binary systems from the literature, were treated by an empirically modified BET model. The isotherms of the ternary system (LiCl + LiNO₃ + H₂O) were reproduced and a complete phase diagram of the ternary system in the temperature range from 273.15 K to 323.15 K predicted. It is shown that the solubility data for the binary system (LiNO₃ + H₂O) measured in this work are slightly different from the literature data. Simulated results showed that the saturated salt solution of (2.8LiCl + LiNO₃) is in equilibrium with the stable solid phase LiNO₃(s) over the temperature range from 283.15 K to 323.15 K, other than the solid phases LiNO₃ · 3H₂O(s) and LiClH₂O(s) as reported by Iyoki et al. [S. Iwasaki, Y. Kuriyama. T. Uemura, J. Chem. Eng. Data 38 (1993) 396–398].     

Diffusion coefficients of nickel chloride in aqueous solutions of lactose at T = 298.15 K and T = 310.15 K

Binary mutual diffusion coefficients (interdiffusion coefficients) of nickel chloride in water at T = 298.15 K and T = 310.15 K, and at concentrations between (0.000 and 0.100) mol · dm^?3, using a Taylor dispersion method have been measured. These data are discussed on the basis of the Onsager–Fuoss and Pikal models. The equivalent conductance at infinitesimal concentration of the nickel ion in these solutions at T = 310.15 K has been estimated using these results. Through the same technique, ternary mutual diffusion coefficients (D₁₁, D₂₂, D₁₂, and D₂₁) for aqueous solutions containing NiCl₂ and lactose, at T = 298.15 K and T = 310.15 K, and at different carrier concentrations were also measured. These data permit us to have a better understanding of the structure of these systems and the thermodynamic behaviour of NiCl₂ in different media.     

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria for ternary mixtures of (water + propionic acid + organic solvent) at T = 303.2 K

Experimental tie-line results and phase diagrams were obtained for the ternary systems of {water + propionic acid + organic solvent (cyclohexane, toluene, and methylcyclohexane)} at T = 303.2 K and atmospheric pressure. The organic solvents were two cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons (i.e., cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane) and an aromatic hydrocarbon (toluene). The experimental tie-lines values were also compared with those calculated by the UNIQUAC and NRTL models. The consistency of the values of the experimental tie-lines was determined through the Othmer–Tobias and Hands plots. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were evaluated over the immiscibility regions and a comparison of the extracting capabilities of the solvents was made with respect to distribution coefficients and separation factors. The Kamlet LSER model was applied to correlate distribution coefficients and separation factors in these ternary systems. The LSER model values showed a good regression to the experimental results.     

Density,speed of sound and refractive index of (n-hexane + cyclohexane + 1-hexanol) atT = 298.15 K

Densities, speeds of sound and refractive indices have been measured for (n -hexane  +  cyclohexane  +  1-hexanol) and its corresponding binaries atT =  298.15 K. In addition, ideal isentropic compressibilities were calculated from the speeds of sound, densities, and literature heat capacities and cubic expansion coefficients. The excess molar volumes and excess isentropic compressibilities, and deviations of the speed of sound and refractive index are correlated by polynomials and discussed.The Nitta–Chao model was used to estimate binary and ternary excess molar volumes, and several empirical equations were also used to calculate the excess and deviation properties.     

Measurements and modeling for the density of 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane,HE for (methanol + 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane), LLE for (water + 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane) and LLE for (water + methanol + 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane)

Oxygenates are used in gasoline to increase the octane number and reduce carbon monoxide emission. 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane (TOME) is a tertiary ether which can potentially be used in addition with current oxygenates. This compound can be produced by etherification of diisobutylene with methanol. During the etherification, water is formed due to the dehydration of methanol. The appearance of water can cause (liquid + liquid) phase split in the production process. In this work, several physical properties of systems containing water, methanol and TOME are studied for the first time. The liquid density of 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane is presented from T = (298.15 to 408.16) K. Excess enthalpies are reported for the binary system of (methanol + 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane) at (T = 298.15 K). The (liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) for (water + 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane) from T = (283.15 to 318.15) K is determined. The LLE is also reported for the ternary system of (water + methanol + 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane) at T = (283.15 and 298.15) K. The UNIQUAC parameters were regressed to model VLE, excess enthalpy and LLE for the binary and ternary data with one set of parameters.
