Abstract

Data from isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) for the binary systems methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and n-propyl acetate with 1-propanol have been determined at 0.6 MPa employing a metal ebulliometer with recirculation of both phases. The thermodynamic consistency of experimental data has been verified with the Van Ness point-to-point test, using the routine in Fortran proposed by Fredenslund et al. The azeotropic point was observed for the binary systems ethyl acetate/1-propanol and propyl acetate/1-propanol. The activity coefficients of the liquid phase were calculated by considering the nonideality of the vapor phase. The binary systems studied show positive deviation from ideal behavior. Predictions obtained from the group contribution models ASOG and different versions of UNIFAC were verified by comparing the values provided by the models with experimental data of VLE.
