Measurements and analysis of the excess enthalpies of some dichloroalkane + 2-ketone systems using UNIFAC group-contribution model

Abstract

Experimental excess molar enthalpies hE at 298.15 K and normal atmospheric pressure were obtained for the binary mixtures 1,2-dichloropropane + (2-propanone, 2-butanone, or 2-pentanone), 1,3-dichloropropane + (2-butanone or 2-pentanone), 1,4-dichlorobutane + (2-butanone or 2-pentanone) using a Calvet microcalorimeter. The hE values for all the mixtures were negative. The experimental results used to test the capability of the interaction parameters of two versions of the UNIFAC group-contribution model to predict the proximity effect in these kind of mixtures.
