Vapor-liquid equilibria for the hexane plus hexadecane and hexane plus 1-hexadecanol systems at elevated temperatures and pressures
Vapor and liquid equilibrium compositions have been measured for the hexane + hexadecane and the hexane + 1-hexadecanol systems at temperatures from 472.0 K to 623.0 K and pressures from 6.2 bar to 46.4 bar. A continuous-flow apparatus was used both to minimize possible thermal degradation and to accurately measure the lower hexadecanol concentrations in the vapor phase. Mixture critical pressures and compositions were also measured. Results indicate that the addition of the hydroxyl group to the C-16 hydrocarbon backbone significantly affects the phase behavior with hexane.
