Phase equilibria of binary mixtures containing methyl acetate, water, methanol or ethanol at 101.3 kPa

Abstract

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria data at 101.3 kPa were reported for the binary mixtures (methyl acetate + (water or methanol or ethanol), methanol + (water or ethanol) and (ethanol + water)). The experimental data were tested for thermodynamic consistency by means of the Wisniak method and were demonstrated to be consistent. The experimental data were correlated using Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC models for the activity coefficients and predicted using the UNIFAC and PSRK equation of state for testing theirs capability. The results show that the obtained data for the studied binary systems are more reliable than other published data.
