Thermodynamic properties of binary mixtures containing n-alkylamines : I. Isothermal vapour–liquid equilibrium and excess molar enthalpy of n-alkylamine+toluene mixtures. Measurement and analysis in terms of group contributions

Abstract

Molar excess enthalpies, H E, at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure, of n-propyl-, n-butyl-, n-pentyl-, n-octyl- or n-decylamine+toluene, as well as the isothermal vapour–liquid equilibria, VLE, of n-butylamine+toluene and of n-butylamine+benzene at 298.15 K have been determined. These experimental results, along with the data available in the literature on molar excess Gibbs energies, G E, activity coefficients at infinite dilution, γ i ∞, and molar excess enthalpies, H E, for n-alkylamine+toluene mixtures are examined on the basis of the DISQUAC group contribution model. The modified UNIFAC is also used to describe the mixtures.
