Abstract
Vapour–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data were measured for the ternary mixtures of water (1) + 2-propanol (2) + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([bmim][OAc]) (3). Complete T, x and y data were obtained in a relatively wide range of ionic liquid (IL) mass fractions up to 0.8. The data were correlated by means of NRTL and eNRTL equations with satisfactory results. Using the eNRTL equation, the ternary VLE behaviour was also modelled through correlation of two data sets, in which the mole fraction of 2-propanol on IL-free basis is respectively at 0.1 and 0.98. In this way, the six data sets were reproduced satisfactorily, with root mean square deviations of 1.06 K for temperature and 0.0098 for vapour-phase mole fractions. Owing to the regular distribution of the experimental data, good agreement between experiment and calculation was graphically presented. Effect of the IL on the VLE behaviour of the volatile components was also illustrated.
