Experimental isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium at atmospheric and sub-atmospheric pressures, excess molar volumes and deviations in molar refractivity from 293.15 K to 318.15 K of diisopropyl ether with methanol and isopropyl alcohol

Experimental isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium data for the binary systems, diisopropyl ether + isopropyl alcohol and methanol + diisopropyl ether at the local atmospheric pressure of 94.79 kPa and at sub-atmospheric pressures of (53.3, 66.7, 79.9) kPa were obtained over the entire composition range using a Sweitoslawsky-type ebulliometer. The experimental temperatures were compared with predictions made using Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC, UNIFAC, Peng–Robinson (PR) and Soave–Redlich–Kwong (SRK) equations of state (EoS) with Wong–Sandler (WS) mixing rules. Model parameters along with the deviations in temperature have been presented. Experimental temperatures were found to be in good agreement with the predicted values. NRTL model was found to represent the VLE behavior of these systems better than the other models used. Density and refractive indices of mixtures are reported from 293.15 K to 318.5 K.
