Isobaric Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium for the Binary Systems of sec Butyl Acetate plus Methyl Ethyl Ketone, 2-Methoxyethanol, or 1,2-Dimethoxyethane at 101.3 kPa
The isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) + sec-butyl acetate (SBAC), 2-methoxyethanol + SBAC, and 1, 2-dimethoxyethane (DME) + SBAC were determined at 101.3 kPa by using an Ellis vapor-liquid equilibrium still. The experimental data passed the thermodynamic consistency test by Herington method and Wisniak test. The VLE values were correlated by the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL), universal quasichemical activity coefficience (UNIQUAC), and Wilson activity-coefficient models. The results indicated that the three models had good agreement with the experimental data. The 2-methoxyethanol + SBAC system forms a minimum temperature binary azeotrope at 101.3 kPa. The azeotropic temperature is 383.86 K, and the composition of SBAC is 85.1 mol %.
