ABSTRACT

Densities and speeds of sound for the binary mixtures acetone, 2-butanone and 2-pentanone + diethyl carbonate, over the whole composition range, at T = 298.15K and atmospheric pressure have been measured. Excess molar volumes and deviations in isentropic compressibility for the binary systems were fitted to the Redlich Kister polynomial. Isobaric vapor liquid equilibria for the binary systems acetone + diethyl carbonate, 2-butanone + diethyl carbonate and 2-pentanone + diethyl carbonate at P = 101.3 kPa have been determined. The activity coefficients were calculated to be thermodynamically consistent and they were correlated with theWilson,NRTL,UNIQUACand Redlich Kister equations. Interaction parameters related to the carbonate ( OCOO ) and ketone ( CO ) groups, inASOGand UNIFACmethods, have been determined using our experimental VLE data.
