Isothermal Vapor−Liquid Equilibrium and Excess Enthalpy Data for the Binary Systems Methyl tert-Butyl Ether + Cyclohexane and Ethyl tert-Butyl Ether + Cyclohexane, n-Hexane, and n-Heptane in a Temperature Range from 298.15 to 393.15 K

Abstract

Isothermal vapor−liquid equilibrium (VLE) and excess enthalpy (HE) data are reported for binary systems containing branched ethers and hydrocarbons. The vapor−liquid equilibrium data for methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) + cyclohexane at 308.15 K, for ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) + cyclohexane, n-hexane + ethyl tert-butyl ether, and ethyl tert-butyl ether + n-heptane from 298.15 to 363.15 K were measured by means of a computer-controlled static apparatus. An isothermal flow calorimeter was used to obtain excess enthalpy data for the systems containing ethyl tert-butyl ether at 313.15 and 393.15 K. The experimental VLE and HE data were compared with the data of other authors and have been used simultaneously for the correlation of temperature-dependent UNIQUAC parameters.
