Abstract

Vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 50, 75, and 94 kPa have been determined for the binary system ethyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether + 2-propanol, in the temperature range 323-344 K. The measurements were made in an equilibrium still with circulation of both the vapor and liquid phases. Excess volumes have been also determined from density measurements at 298.15 K. The system exhibits positive deviation from ideal behavior and azeotropic behavior in the range of experimental pressures. The excess volume of the system is negative over the whole mole fraction range. The activity coefficients and boiling points of the solutions were well correlated with the mole fraction by the Wohl, Wilson, UNIQUAC, NRTL equations and predicted by the UNIFAC group contribution method. Excess volume data were correlated using the Redlich-Kister expansion.
