Abstract
Activity coefficients at infinite dilution were determined for binary pairs of acetonitrile, water, limonene and limonene epoxide at room temperature using the dilutor technique (inert gas stripping) in a home-made dilutor apparatus. The activity coefficients were predicted with the Aspen Plus software using the Dortmund-modified UNIFAC contribution method. Values predicted by software simulations are in good agreement with experimental data. However, experimental activity coefficients at infinite dilution obtained for limonene + acetonitrile, water + limonene and limonene epoxide + water systems are in disagreement with reported values estimated from LLE or solubility data.
