Abstract

Vapour–liquid equilibrium data in the two binary 2-propanol + 3-methyl-2-butanone, and 3-methyl-2-butanone + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane systems, and in the ternary 2-propanol + 3-methyl-2-butanone + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane system are reported. The data were measured isothermally at 330.00 and 340.00 K covering the pressure range 25–55 kPa. The binary vapour–liquid equilibrium data were correlated using the Wilson, NRTL, and Redlich–Kister equations; resulting parameters were then used for calculation of phase behaviour in the ternary system and for subsequent comparison with experimental data.

Introduction

New results of a continuing project dealing with phase equilibria in mixtures belonging to distinct families of organic compounds are reported in this paper. Vapour–liquid equilibria are determined for two binary and one ternary systems containing alcohol, ketone, and hydrocarbon. Within the series of papers, the systems of components having a common alkyl group (isopropyl), namely 2-propanol + diisopropyl ether + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane [1], 2-propanol + diisopropyl ether + 1-methoxy-2-propanol [2], 2-propanol + diisopropyl ether + 4-methyl-2-pentanone [3], and 2-methylpentane + 3-methyl-2-butanone + 3-methyl-2-butanol [4] have already been investigated. Compounds used in this paper contain also the ketone, alcohol or isopropyl groups: 2-propanol, 3-methyl-2-butanone, and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. The new data were measured at the two constant temperature levels, particularly at 330.00 and 340.00 K, in order to be consistent with all the previous papers.

Apparatus and procedure

Experimental vapour–liquid equilibrium data were measured in an all glass circulation still chargeable with 150 ml of liquid-phase; essentially it was the Dvorak–Boublík type with modifications described in detail elsewhere [5]. The pressure was measured indirectly via the boiling point of water in an ebulliometer connected in parallel to the still; the uncertainty is ±0.1% of the measured value. The equilibrium temperature was determined with the digital thermometer S1220 (Systemteknik, Sweden)

Results

The direct experimental x–y–P values together with the activity coefficients, γ1 and γ2, (evaluated from the NRTL correlation) for the binary systems are given in Table 1. The data were correlated using the Wilson, NRTL, and the fourth order Redlich–Kister equation in the forms as follows (expressions for ln γ2 can be easily obtained after interchanging indices 1 and 2):

    where A12 = (V1/V2)exp[−(λ12  λ12)/RT], A21 = (V2/V1)exp[−(λ21  λ22)/

Discussion and conclusions

No published vapour–liquid equilibrium data for the systems containing 3-methyl-2-butanone were found in the bibliography covering the period 1888–2006 [15]. Five sets of existing data are available for 2-propanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, however, they are measured at isobaric conditions (at atmospheric pressure) or on different isotherms so that they cannot be exploited for comparison. Nevertheless, the reliability of both the data and correlation procedure is verified by the fact that the

    We estimate that the reproducibility exceeded ±1 × 10−4. The experimental procedure has been described in detail elsewhere [14]. The time interval for recording the measurements was chosen to be 15 min to attain a constant temperature via sufficient heat transfer and a stable apparatus.

    Here we determined the vapour–liquid equilibria (VLE) for three binary and one ternary system containing hydrocarbon, ether, and ketone. In a series of our earlier papers, we have already investigated systems having a common alkyl group (isopropyl or tert-butyl), namely 2-propanol + diisopropyl ether + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane [1], tert-butanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane + 1-tert-butoxy-2-propanol [2], tert-butyl methyl ether + tert-butanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane [3], 2-propanol + diisopropyl ether + 1-methoxy-tert-butyl methyl ether [4], 2-propanol + diisopropyl ether + 4-methyl-2-pentanone [5], 2-methylpentane + 3-methyl-2-butanone + 3-methyl-2-butanol [6], 2-propanol + 3-methyl-2-butanone + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane [7], tert-butyl methyl ether + 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone + 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol [8], and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane + 2-methyl-1-propanol + 4-methyl-2-pentanone [9]. The next in the series of experiments aimed at completing our database are systems containing compounds that share the alkyl group [isopropyl (CH3)2CH], ether group O, and carbonyl group CO with the already investigated systems.

    Therefore, a preliminary investigation of trans-esterification dynamics was necessary (see Section 2.3). The experiments were conducted in the modified Dvorák and Boublík recirculation still with liquid phase total volume of 150 cm3 (for description in details see e.g. [4]). The VLE variables were determined after chemical equilibrium was reached and after both temperature and pressure attained constant values.

On concluding of such extensive experimental studies, the processing of this database would result, e.g. in evaluation of better parameters for group contribution methods.
