ABSTRACT
Oxygenates are used in gasoline to increase the octane number and reduce carbon monoxide emission. 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane (TOME) is a tertiary ether which can potentially be used in addition with current oxygenates. This compound can be produced by etherification of diisobutylene with methanol. During the etherification, water is formed due to the dehydration of methanol. The appearance of water can cause (liquid + liquid) phase split in the production process. In this work, several physical properties of systems containing water, methanol and TOME are studied for the first time. The liquid density of 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane is presented from T = (298.15 to 408.16) K. Excess enthalpies are reported for the binary system of (methanol + 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane) at (T = 298.15 K). The (liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) for (water + 2-methoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane) from T = (283.15 to 318.15) K is determined. The LLE is also reported for the ternary system of (water + methanol + 2-meth oxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane) at T = (283.15 and 298.15) K. The UNIQUAC parameters were regressed to model VLE, excess enthalpy and LLE for the binary and ternary data with one set of parameters.
