ABSTRACT

The isothermal vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) data were measured for the binary systems of 2-methylfuran + furfuryl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol + furfuryl alcohol, and furan + furfural at 353.2, 373.2, and 408.2 K over entire composition range, including the vapor pressures of five constituent compounds. The experimental results of the investigated binary systems show no azeotrope formation and positive deviations from Raoult s law. The thermodynamic consistency of these new binary VLE data has been confirmed by point, area, and infinite dilution tests. The Wilson HOC, the NRTL-HOC, and the UNIQUACHOC models were used to correlate the VLE data. Comparable results were obtained from these three models.
