ABSTRACT

The vapour pressures of the binary systems 1,2-dichloroethane + cyclohexanone, chloroform + cyclopentanone and chloroform + cyclohexanone mixtures were measured at temperatures between 298.15 and 318.15 K. The vapour pressures vs. liquid phase composition data for three isotherms have been used to calculate the activity coefficients of the two components and the excess molar Gibbs energies, GE, for these mixtures, using Barker's method. Redlich Kister, Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC equations, taking into account the vapour phase imperfection in terms of the 2-nd virial coefficient, have represented the GE values. No significant difference between GE values obtained with these equations has been observed. Our data on vapour liquid equilibria (VLE) and excess properties of the studied systems are examined in terms of the DISQUAC and modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) predictive group contributions models.
