Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for acetone + methanol + lithium nitrate at 100 kPa

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for the ternary system acetone + methanol + lithium nitrate have been measured at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. The addition of lithium nitrate to the solvent mixture produced an important salting-out effect and the azeotrope tended to disappear for small contents of salt. The experimental data sets were fitted with the electrolyte NRTL model and the parameters of the Mock's model were estimated. These parameters were used to predict the ternary vapor–liquid equilibrium which agreed well with the experimental one.
