Abstract

Vapor-liquid equilibrium at 94 kPa has been determined for the binary systems oxolane (THF) + vinyl acetate, oxolane + ethyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether (ETBE) and vinyl acetate + ethyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether. The three systems present slight to moderate positive deviations from ideal behavior and, to a first approximation, can be considered to behave like regular solutions. An azeotrope is present in the system vinyl acetate + ETBE that boils at 340.40 K and contains 49.8% mol vinyl acetate. The activity coefficients of the systems were correlated reasonable well with its composition by the Wohl, Wilson, UNIQUAC and NRTL models. The boiling points of the binary systems were correlated with the Wisniak-Tamir equation.
