Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Measurements and Modeling for Cyclohexane plus Cyclohexanone
The characteristically low conversion in the oxidation of cyclohexane to form cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone requires significant recovery work via distillation. In tills study, new isothermal vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) are presented for the cyclohexane + cyclohexanone binary system. Measurements were performed at temperatures of (423, 444, 464, and 484) K. using an apparatus based on the "static-analytic" method. with two ROLSI pneumatic capillary samplers. The generated data are correlated using two equations of state. namely, the Peng-Robinson coupled with the Wong-Sandler mixing rules and the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) with a dipolar contribution by Jog and Chapman. While both models perform reasonably well in describing the phase equilibria, the Peng-Robinson is slightly better than the perturbed-chain SAFT equation of state and tends to be more easily implemented in industrial process simulators.
