ABSTRACT

Carbonate esters and esters are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. It is important to enrich the vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) database of these components. In this article, the isobaric VLE data of three binary mixtures diethyl carbonate (DEC) + methyl acetate, DEC + n-propyl acetate, and DEC + amyl acetate at 100.17 kPa were obtained. The experimental data were tested using the Van Ness consistency test, which indicated that the experimental data satisfy the test for thermodynamic consistency. The activity coefficient models Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC were used to correlate the experimental VLE values to obtain the interaction parameters. The results associated with the three models are in good agreement with the experimental data. The minimum average absolute deviation values of vapor-phase compositions and temperatures for all are 0.0010 and 0.15 K, and no azeotropic behavior was observed in these systems. In addition, the group contribution method was used to fit the group parameters of the vapor liquid equilibrium data.
