Abstract

Isobaric binary vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for diethyl carbonate with ethylbenzene and xylene isomers are measured at 101.33 kPa by using a modified Rose still. The binary VLE data are tested to be thermodynamically consistent by the Herington method and the point-to-point test of the Fredenslund method. Taking account of the nonideality of the vapor phase, the activity coefficients of the components are calculated. All systems present a positive deviation from ideality. The experimental VLE data are well correlated by the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL), universal quasichemical activity coefficient (UNIQUAC), and Wilson equations. The calculated vapor-phase compositions and temperature agree well with the experimental values. These experimental data can provide basic thermodynamic data for practical application in developing the distillation simulation of diethyl carbonate with ethylbenzene and xylene isomers.
