Abstract

Vapor-liquid equilibrium data at 50, 75 and 94 kPa have been determined for the binary system methyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether +2-propanol, in the temperature range 308-344 K. The measurements were made in an equilibrium still with circulation of both the vapor and liquid phases. Excess volumes have been also determined from density measurements using a vibrating tube densimeter at 298.15 K. The system exhibits positive deviation from ideal behavior and does not present azeotropy within the range of pressures studied. The excess volume of the system is negative over the whole mole fraction range. The activity coefficients and boiling points of the solutions were well correlated with the mole fraction by the Wohl, Wilson, UNIQUAC, and NRTL equations. Excess volume data were correlated using the Redlich-Kister expansion.
