Abstract

In this work, the dynamic viscosity and density of three-component mixtures consisting of a binary azeotropic mixture of isopropanol-water and an extractive agent were investigated. Three points of the profile of concentrations in the liquid phase in the extractive separation column of isopropanol-water mixture in recalculation on the pseudobinary mixture were selected for research: the first point - 95/5 % wt. %; the second point - 5/95 % wt. %; the third azeotrope point - 88/12 % wt. %. For the selected points model mixtures were prepared to which 13 % wt. % of the extractive agent was added. The extractants used in this work were monoethylene glycol (EG), which is used in industrial processes, 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride ([Emim][Cl]) and triethylene glycol-based boronic acid amino ester (AEBA). Experimental data on concentration and temperature dependences of dynamic viscosity and density were obtained for these mixtures. The results showed that the viscosity of the system increases in the series of EG, AEBA, [Emim][Cl]. To carry out calculations of the investigated thermophysical properties in the work we used known expressions: for density - through the sum of volumes; for viscosity - the Kendall-Manroe model. For a three-component mixture with EG, the results of calculations of properties performed in the AspenPlus V12 package are presented. The studies carried out in this work have shown that the density modeling of the studied mixtures is quite accurate, the discrepancy between experimental and calculated data does not exceed 1%. Modeling of the dynamic viscosity coefficient of the system by the Kendall-Manroe model for isopropanol-water mixture in the presence of the studied extractive agents can lead to significant errors, the maximum value reaches 52%. The calculated values of the dynamic viscosity coefficient are underestimated, which in turn can lead to errors in modeling (on the basis of these properties) of heat and mass transfer processes occurring in the apparatus.
