Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium at 101.3 kPa and excess properties at 298.15 K for binary mixtures of methyl phenyl carbonate with methanol or dimethyl carbonate

• Vapor–liquid equilibria at 101.3 kPa for binary systems.
• Excess and deviation properties for binary systems.
• GE model was used for the description of the determined VLE data.
• These VE and ΔR data were modeled well with the Redlich–Kister polynomial.

The vapor pressure of the pure component of methyl phenyl carbonate (MPC) was measured at temperatures ranging from 378 K to 488 K. The experimental vapor pressures could be fit well with a three-parameter Antoine equation. Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for binary systems (MPC + methanol and MPC + dimethyl carbonate) were determined using a dynamic method at 101.3 kPa. They were correlated with Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC models. In addition, excess molar volumes (VE) and deviations in molar refractivity (ΔR) at 298.15 K were recorded for the same binary systems using a digital vibrating tube densitometer and a precision digital refractometer. The VE and ΔR data were in good agreement with the predictions of the Redlich–Kister equation.
