Density, viscosity, vapor pressure and isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria for 2, 4-dichlorofluorobenzene and 2, 6-dichlorofluorobenzene

Abstract

The density and viscosity of pure liquid 2, 4-dichlorofluorobenzene and 2, 6-dichlorofluorobenzene were measured in the temperature range of (318.15–348.15) K at the local atmospheric pressure of 99.8 kPa. The saturated vapor pressures of pure 2, 4-dichlorofluorobenzene and 2, 6-dichlorofluorobenzene and the isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) data for the 2, 4-dichlorofluorobenzene + 2, 6-dichlorofluorobenzene binary system at atmospheric pressure were determined experimentally by a modified Rose still. The density values were accurately described by DIPPR equation. The viscosity data were well correlated using the Litovitz, Ghatee and VFT, and Andrade equations, and the VFT equation shows the best accuracy. Both Antoine and Riedel equations can well describe the relationship between saturated vapor pressure and temperature, which meet the requirements of engineering design. The Riedel equation is more accurate due to the lower average relative deviation. The VLE data were successfully correlated with NRTL and Wilson activity coefficient models, and the interaction parameters were obtained. The result indicates that there is no azeotrope in the binary mixture. The above thermodynamic properties of pure component and the VLE data presented are crucial for the design and operation of distillation for the isomeric mixture separation of 2, 4-dichlorofluorobenzene + 2, 6-dichlorofluorobenzene.
