Vapor-liquid equilibrium measurements for the binary system methyl acetate+ethanol at 0.3 and 0.7 MPa

Abstract

This paper reports experimental data of the isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) for the mixture methyl acetate + ethanol at 0.3 and 0.7 MPa, determined using a copper still ebulliometer. The activity coefficients obtained from the experimental data were correlated by using different thermodynamic mathematical models. All the binary systems show a positive consistency when subjected to the point-to-point test of Van Ness. The prediction of VLE data obtained with the UNIFAC and ASOG methods has been verified with experimental data.
