Abstract
Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data were determined at the pressure of 101.3 kPa for binary and ternary systems composed of acetone, ethanol, and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (isooctane). Minimum boiling azeotropes were found in the acetone + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and ethanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane systems. Azeotropic behavior was not found for the ternary system. Thermodynamic consistency tests were performed for all VLE data. The activity coefficients of the binary mixtures were satisfactorily correlated as function of the mole fraction using the Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC models. The models with their best-fitted parameters were used to predict the ternary vapor-liquid equilibrium. The Wilson model appears to yield the best prediction in boiling temperatures.
