Liquid-Liquid, Vapor-Liquid, and Vapor-Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium Data for the Water-n-Butanol Cyclohexane System at Atmospheric Pressure: Experimental Determination and Correlation
The temperature and the composition of the vapor-liquid-liquid equilibrium (VLLE) and the vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) of a ternary mixture of water-n-butanol-cyclohexane were measured at atmospheric pressure (101.32 kPa) in a modified dynamic recirculating still. As found in the literature, the experimental data obtained reveal a ternary azeotrope at 341.86 K with a mole fraction composition of 0.281, 0.034, and 0.685 water, n-butanol, and cyclohexane, respectively. The liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) compositions were measured at a constant temperature of 313.15 K and compared with data in the literature collected at other temperatures. Thermodynamic consistency of all the experimental data was demonstrated. The universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) and the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) thermodynamic models were used to correlate the VLE and LLE data, while the original universal functional (UNIFAC) model was used to compare the predicted data.
