Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibrium at 333.15 K, excess molar volumes and refractive indices at 298.15 K for mixtures of tert-amyl methyl ether + ethanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane

Abstract

Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibrium data at 333.15 K are measured for the binary system tert-amyl methyl ether + ethanol and tert-amyl methyl ether + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and for ternary system tert-amyl methyl ether + ethanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane by using headspace gas chromatography. The experimental vapor–liquid equilibrium data were correlated with G E models (Margules, van Laar, Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC) equations. The excess volume and deviations in molar refractivity data are also reported for the same binary and ternary systems at 298.15 K. These data were correlated with the Redlich–Kister equation for the binary systems and the Cibulka equation for the ternary system, respectively. The experimental ternary excess volume and deviations in molar refractivity data, were also compared with the estimated values from the binary contribution models of Tsao–Smith, Kohler, Rastogi and Radojkovič.
