Liquid–liquid equlibria of the system dimethyl carbonate + methanol + water at different temperatures

In this work, experimental liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) data of the dimethyl carbonate + methanol + water system are presented. The LLE of this system has been measured from 283 to 333 K. On the other hand, LLE and LVE of the binary system dimethyl carbonate + water have been measured. The equilibrium data presented are correlated using NRTL and UNIQUAC equations. The reliability of these models is tested by comparison with experimental results. Finally, the VLE for the system DMC + water at 101.3 kPa was predicted using the UNIQUAC model, with the adjusted parameters obtained from the LLE data. This prediction was successful when is compared with the experimental VLE data.
