Abstract
Most organic solvents used in the workplace are mixed solvents consisting of several components. It is therefore very important to know the equilibrated vapor concentrations in order to control the work environment. In this study, the vapor-liquid equilibrium for multicomponent organic solvents is estimated by introducing the activity coefficients, which are calculated with the UNIFAC (Universal Quasichemical Functional Group Activity Coefficient) model. For two-component solvents, that is, the toluene-methanol and o-xylene-methanol systems, the calculated values of the vapor fraction and the equilibrated vapor concentrations are in good agreement with the reference ones. For three- or four-component solvents that are used as thinners, the calculated values are also generally in good agreement with the reference ones.
