ABSTRACT

Isobaric vapor liquid equilibria for the binary system methyl acetate + 2-butanol at 0.3 MPa and 0.6 MPa and ethyl acetate + 2-butanol at 0.3 MPa and 0.6 MPa have been determined. Thermodynamic consistency was checked. The Redlich Kister and Herington area tests were employed. The Point test, Area test and Infinite dilution test (PAI) of Kojima et al. and the point-to-point test of Van Ness et al. were also applied. The different criteria for validation were considered, and all systems showed an acceptable quality. The results of global and individual deviations on experimental data calculated by using the Fredenslund et al. routine are shown. The different versions of the unique functional group activity coefficient (UNIFAC) and analytical solution of groups (ASOG) predictive group contribution models were applied. The experimental data were also correlated with the Peng Robinson equation applying quadratic mixing rules.
