Investigation on Isobaric Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium for 1-Butanol + Ethylbenzene plus o-Xylene plus m-Xylene plus p-Xylene
Isobaric binary vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for 1-butanol + ethylbenzene, or o-, or m-, or p-xylene and isobaric quinary VLE data for 1-butanol + ethylbenzene + o-xylene + m-xylene + p-xylene are measured at 101.33 kPa using a modified Rose cell with circulation of both phases. The four binary systems of 1-butanol + ethylbenzene, or o-, or m-, or p-xylene exhibit minimum boiling azeotropes, and the composition of the azeotropes are reported. The VLE data for the four binary systems are checked to meet rigorous thermodynamic consistency by Herington method and the point-to-point test of the Fredenslund method. The nonideality in vapor phase of the measured binary systems is analyzed through calculating fugacity coefficients. Combined with the Hayden-O'Connell (HOC) equation, the VLE data for 1-butanol + ethylbenzene, or o-, or m-, or p-xylene are well-correlated by the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL), universal quasichemical activity coefficient (UNIQUAC), and Wilson equations. The NRTL model parameters obtained from correlation are used to predict the VLE data of the quinary system. According to the average absolute deviation values, the obtained quinary predicted values are in good agreement with the experimental values.
