Experimental VLE Data of Binary Systems of Ester + Alcohol at 0.6 MPa. Verification using new Association Parameters for the Point– to–Point Test

Abstract

Experimental data of vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) are reported for the following binary systems: butyl acetate+ethanol, butyl acetate+1–propanol and butyl acetate+1–butanol at 0.6 MPa. No azeotrope was found in the butyl acetate+1–butanol system at 0.6 MPa. The thermodynamic consistency of the obtained data was analyzed using some equations of state (EOS) in the point–to–point test. The phase behavior was satisfactorily modelled using the Peng–Robinson EOS. The new association parameter of the Hayden–O’Connell method was determined from 144 pure substances and the influence of the second virial coefficient calculations in the point–to–point test was evaluated.
