Abstract
In this study, the isothermal binary vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for the butan-1-ol + butane-1,4-diol/butane-2,3-diol system was measured and modelled, for use in the design and rating of separation processes. P-T-x-y equilibrium measurements were performed at four temperatures from approximately 353–388 K. A dynamic-analytical apparatus was utilized to perform the measurements at sub-atmospheric conditions. The measured data was modelled by employing the γ-Φ approach. The liquid-phase correction was accounted for using the Non-Random Two-Liquid and Universal Quasi-Chemical activity coefficient models while the Hayden and O'Connell correlation for the virial equation of state was used to account for the vapour-phase correction. Thermodynamic consistency tests were performed using the point and area tests for the measured experimental data and the data sets passed both tests.
