ABSTRACT

Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria for the binary systems ethyl acetate + ethanol, ethyl acetate + 1-ethyl-3- methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][triflate]), and ethanol + [emim][triflate] as well as the vapor-liquid equilibria for the ethyl acetate + ethanol + [emim][triflate] ternary system have been obtained at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. NRTL fitting parameters for the ethyl acetate + ethanol and ethanol + [emim]- [triflate] systems were calculated. The measured ternary data were correlated using the Mock electrolyte NRTL model, which reproduces reasonably well the experimental values. The results suggest that the addition of [emim]- [triflate] to the ethyl acetate + ethanol mixture produced an important salting-out effect, and the azeotrope disappears when the mole fraction of ionic liquid in the liquid phase is greater than 0.20.
