Excess molar enthalpies of the ternary mixtures: (diisopropyl ether or 2-methyltetrahydrofuran) + cyclohexane + n-heptane at 298.15 K

Microcalorimetric measurements of excess molar enthalpies, at 298.15 K, are reported for the two ternary systems formed by mixing either diisopropyl ether or 2-methyltetrahydrofuran with binary mixtures of cyclohexane and n-heptane. Smooth representations of the results are presented and used to construct constant excess molar enthalpy contours on Roozeboom diagrams. It is shown that useful estimates of the ternary enthalpies can be obtained from the Liebermann and Fried model, using only the physical properties of the components and their binary mixtures.

Experimental and predicted viscosities of the binary system (n-hexane + 1,3-dioxolane) and for the ternary system (n-hexane + 1,3-dioxolane + 1-butanol) at 298.15 and 313.15 K

Viscosities of the ternary system n-hexane+1,3-dioxolane+1-butanol and the binary system n-hexane+1,3-dioxolane have been measured at atmospheric pressure at 298.15 and 313.15 K. Viscosity deviations for the binary and ternary systems were calculated from experimental data and fitted to Redlich–Kister and Cibulka equations, respectively. The group contribution method proposed by Wu has been used to predict the viscosity of all mixtures.     

Volumetric properties and viscosities of the methyl butanoate + n-heptane + cyclo-octane ternary system at 283.15 and 313.15 K and its binary constituents in the temperature range from 283.15 to 313.15 K

The density and kinematic viscosity of the systems methyl butanoate+cyclo-octane and n-heptane+cyclo-octane were determined at four temperatures in the range 283.15–313.15 K over the whole concentration range. The densities and viscosities of the ternary system methyl butanoate+n-heptane+cyclo-octane were determined at 283.15 and 313.15 K. For the binary systems, the dependence of V^E on composition and temperature was obtained in order to calculate other mixture properties, such as the isobaric thermal expansion coefficients, the temperature coefficients of the molar excess volume and the pressure coefficients of the molar excess enthalpy. In the case of the system n-heptane+cyclo-octane the values of these properties and have been compared with those predicted using the group-contribution model by Nitta et al. in combination with a parameters set available in the literature. Experimental binary and ternary viscosities were correlated for comparison, by means of several empirical and semi-empirical models. Kinematic viscosities were also used to test the predictive capability of the group-contribution model UNIFAC-VISCO. In addition, several empirical equations for predicting ternary properties from only binary results have also been applied.     

Vapor–liquid equilibria and excess volumes of the binary systems ethanol + ethyl lactate, isopropanol + isopropyl lactate and n-butanol + n-butyl lactate at 101.325 kPa

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium data have been experimentally determined at 101.3 kPa for the binary systems ethanol + ethyl lactate, isopropanol + isopropyl lactate and n-butanol + n-butyl lactate. No azeotrope was found in any of the systems. All the experimental data reported were thermodynamically consistent according to the point-to-point method of Fredenslund. The activity coefficients were correlated with the NRTL and UNIQUAC liquid-phase equations and the corresponding binary interaction parameters are reported. The densities and derived excess volumes for the three mixtures are also reported at 298.15 K.     

Viscometric and sorption equilibrium studies on n-alkane-butanone-poly-(dimethylsiloxane) systems

Intrinsic viscosities, [η], second virial coefficients, A₂, and preferential solvation coefficients, λ, for the ternary systems n-alkane (l)-butanone (2)-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) (3), with n-alkane = n-hexane, n-heptane, n-nonane and n-undecane, have been determined at 20°. The K and a constants of the Mark-Houwink equation have been evaluated over the whole composition range of the binary solvent mixtures. Polymer (mixed solvent) interaction parameters and unperturbed dimensions have been evaluated both from A₂ and [η] data, the feasibility of A₂ evaluation from [η] experimental data or vice versa being discussed. Experimental and calculated (through Dondos and Patterson theory) excess free energies, G^E, follow similar trends with composition; large numerical discrepancies, however, arise between both sets of G^E. Maxima in [η], in a and in A₂ are accompanied by inversion points in λ. The solvent mixture composition range in which PDMS is preferentially solvated by n-alkane, as well as the extent of solvation, decrease with increasing number of carbon atoms in the n-alkane.     

Excess molar enthalpies of methyl alkanoates + n-nonane at 298.15 k

Microcalorimetric measurements of excess enthalpies were carried out over the whole concentration range for mixtures of nine methyl alkanoates (from acetate to decanoate) with n-nonane at 298.15 K. From these data, information could be obtained about the interactions between both chemical species. All show positive excess molar enthalpies which decrease with increasing length of the aliphatic chain of the methyl alkanoate.     

Phase transitions and azeotropic properties of acetic acid–n-propanol–water–n-propyl acetate system

The brief review of the data on VLE and LLE in acetic acid–n-propanol–water–n-propyl acetate system is presented. The azeotropic properties and the topological structure of the residue curve map at 313.15 K are discussed. This system is one of the few reacting systems with an extensive set of data on binary and ternary subsystems, in chemically nonequilibrium states. The main aim of the paper is to present the set of combined data that could be helpful for the development of thermodynamics of the systems with chemical reactions, and for modeling of coupled phase and reactive equilibria.     

Excess thermodynamics properties of propyl propanoate+hexane+cyclohexane at 298.15 K

Summary In this paper we present excess molar volumes and excess molar enthalpies of binary and ternary mixtures containing propyl propanoate, hexane and cyclohexane as components at 298.15 K. Excess molar volumes were calculated from the density of the pure liquids and mixtures. The density was measured using an Anton Paar DMA 60/602 vibrating-tube densimeter. Excess molar enthalpies were obtained using a Calvet microcalorimeter     

Excess Molar Volumes of (Methyl Ethanoate + 1-Chlorooctane + an n-Alkane) Ternary Mixtures and Their Constituent Binaries at 25°C

Excess molar volumes, at the temperature 25°C and atmospheric pressure over the whole composition range, are reported for the following binary mixtures: methyl ethanoate + (n-octane, n-decane); methyl ethanoate + 1-chlorooctane; 1-chlorooctane + (n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane, n-decane); and for the ternary mixtures methyl ethanoate + 1-chlorooctane + (n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane, n-decane). The values of excess molar volumes were calculated from density and composition results. The excess volumes were utilized to test the multiproperty group-contribution model of Nitta et al. using parameter sets available in the literature. Experimental results from ternary mixtures have also been compared to predictions from several empirical and semiempirical models, which utilize, exclusively, results from binary mixtures.

Excess molar enthalpies of the ternary mixture: tetrahydrofuran + cyclohexane + butanenitrile and of the binary mixtures involved have been measured at 298.15 K by means of a flow microcalorimeter.The DISQUAC analysis is developed using interchange coefficients previously determined for the binary mixtures. Even neglecting ternary interactions, it is possible to obtain a satisfactory representation of the ternary system.     

Thermodynamics of (1,4-difluorobenzene + an n-alkane) and of (hexafluorobenzene + an n-alkane)

Excess molar enthalpies H^E and excess molar volumes V^E have been measured, as a function of mole fraction x₁, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure for the five liquid mixtures (x₁1,4-C₆H₄F₂ + x₂n-C_lH_2l+2), l = 7, 8, 10, 12 and 16. In addition, H^E and excess molar heat capacities C_P^E at constant pressure have been determined for the two liquid mixtures (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C_lH_2l+2), l = 7 and 14, at the same temperature and pressure. The instruments used were flow microcalorimeters of the Picker design (the H^E version was equipped with separators) and a vibrating-tube densimeter, respectively.

The excess enthalpies of the five difluorobenzene mixtures are all positive and quite large; they increase with increasing chain length l of the n-alkane from H^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(J mol⁻¹) = 1050 for l = 7 to 1359 for l = 16. The corresponding excess volumes V^E are all positive and also increase with increasing l: V^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(cm³ mol⁻¹) = 0.650 for l = 7 and 1.080 for l = 16. Interestingly, the excess enthalphies of the corresponding mixtures with hexafluorobenzene are only about 5% larger, whereas the excess volumes of (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C_lH_2l+2) are roughly twice as large as those of their counterparts in the series containing 1,4-C₆H₄F₂. Specifically, at 298.15 K H^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(J mol⁻¹) = 1119 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₇H₁₆) and 1324 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₁₄H₃₀), and for the same mixtures V^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(cm³ mol⁻¹) = 1.882 and 2.093, respectively. The excess heat capacities for both systems are negative and of about the same magnitude as the excess heat capacities of mixtures of fluorobenzene with the same n-alkanes (Roux et al., 1984): C_P^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹) = −1.18 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₇H₁₆), and −2.25 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₁₄H₃₀). The curve C_P^E vs. (x₁ for x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₁₄H₃₀) shows a sort of “hump” for x₁ 0.5, which is presumed to indicate emerging W-shape composition dependence at lower temperatures.     

Excess enthalpies of the ternary mixtures: tetrahydrofuran + (diisopropyl ether or 2-methyltetrahydrofuran) + n-heptane at 298.15 K

Excess molar enthalpies, measured at 298.15 K in a flow microcalorimeter, are reported for the ternary mixtures (tetrahydrofuran + diisopropyl ether + n-heptane) and (tetrahydrofuran + 2-methyltetrahydrofuran + n-heptane). Smooth representations of the results are described and used to construct constant excess molar enthalpy contours on Roozeboom diagrams. The latter are compared with diagrams obtained when the model of Liebermann and Fried is used to estimate the excess enthalpies of the ternary mixtures from the physical properties of the components and their binary mixtures.

In addition, excess molar volumes were determined from the densities of the pure liquids and mixtures. Suitable fitting equations have been used in order to correlate adequately the excess molar volumes. Experimental data were also used to test several empirical expressions for estimating ternary properties from experimental binary results.     

Structural evolutions of the n-heneicosane and n-tricosane molecular alloys at 293 K

A structural study of odd-numbered n-alkane (C_n) binary mixtures (C₂₁ : C₂₃) was carried out on powder samples using a Guinier-de Wolff camera with increasing concentration of n-C₂₃ at 293 K.

Despite the reports in the literature, these molecular alloys do not form an orthorhombic continuous homogeneous solid solution to C₂₁ from C₂₃ at “low temperature”. Instead, as already observed in two even-numbered C_n systems, X-ray diffraction results show the existence of seven solid solutions as the molar concentration of C₂₃ increases: four terminal solid solutions, denoted β₀(C₂₁)β₀(C₂₃), isostructural with the “low temperature” phase of pure C₂₁ and C₂₃ (Pbcm), β′₀(C₂₁) and β′₀(C₂₃), identical to the phase β′₀ which appears in pure C₂₃ above the δ transition, and three orthorhombic intermediate solid solutions, designated β″₁, β′₁ and β″₂.

On the basis of powder X-ray photographs, the phases β″₁ and β″₂ (C₂₁ : C₂₃) are indistinguishable, and they are isostructural with the intermediate solid solution β″ of the even-numbered C_n binary systems (C₂₂ : C₂₄) and (C₂₄ : C₂₆). The phase β′₁(C₂₁ : C₂₃) is also isostructural with the two indistinguishable intermediate solid solutions β′₁ and β′₂ of the molecular alloys (C₂₂ : C₂₄) and (₂₄ : C₂₆).

From this study and our other laboratory results, the sequences of appearance of the solid solutions and the structural identities between these phases are established at “low temperature” for all the binary molecular alloys of consecutive C_n (odd-odd, even-even or odd-even: 19 < n < 27) when increasing the solute concentration.     

Measurements and analysis of excess molar volumes for the ternary mixture MTBE + 1-pentanol + decane

Summary Densities at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure have been measured, using a DMA 4500 Anton Paar densimeter, for the ternary mixture methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE)+1-pentanol+decane and for the involved binary mixtures MTBE+1-pentanol and 1-pentanol+decane. The excess molar volumes for the binary mixture MTBE+decane was reported in an earlier work [1]. In addition, excess molar volumes were determined from the densities of the pure liquids and mixtures. Suitable fitting equations have been used in order to correlate adequately the excess molar volumes. The empirical expressions of Kohler [18], Jacob and Fitzner [19], Colinet [20], Knobeloch and Schwartz [21], Tsao and Smith [22], Toop [23], Scatchard et al. [24], Hillert [25], Mathieson and Thynne [26] were applied to estimate ternary properties from binary results.

Experimental excess molar enthalpies and excess molar volumes of the ternary system x₁MTBE+x₂1-propanol+(1-x₁-x₂) hexane and the involved binary mixtures have been determined at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Excess molar enthalpies were measured using a standard Calvet microcalorimeter, and excess molar volumes were determined from the densities of the pure liquids and mixtures, using a DMA 4500 Anton Paar densimeter. The UNIFAC group contribution model (in the versions of Larsen et al., and Gmehling et al.) has been employed to estimate excess enthalpies values. Several empirical expressions for estimating ternary properties from experimental binary results were applied.
