Abstract
To make feasible the experimental study of vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) in the systems mentioned in the title, a static apparatus for accurate measurement of total vapor pressures of solutions was constructed. Mixtures of known composition are prepared synthetically in a thermostated equilibrium cell by weight from pure degassed components and the total pressure is measured by a quartz Bourdon gage. A procedure was developed for degassing pure liquids to a degree corresponding to the high precision of pressure determination required. The static assembly was tested by comparing obtained isothermal vapor pressures and calculated excess Gibbs free energies with literature data for the benzene - cyclohexane system at 14 and 20°C, respectively. Additional experimental vapor-pressure data are presented for pure cyclohexane, benzene, and N-methylpyrrolidone (abbreviated throughout this paper as NMP) at 6–24°C and for the binary systems of benzene-cyclohexane at 8°C and cyclohexane - NMP and benzene - NMP at 8, 14, and 20°C over the entire composition range. The binary data were reduced by a modified Barker's method to evaluate excess Gibbs free energies and vapor phase compositions.
