In
this paper, isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data
for the binary system of γ-butyrolactone + succinic anhydride
were measured at pressures of 20.0, 30.0, and 40.0 kPa by a modified
Rose still. There was no azeotropic phenomenon observed at each pressure.
A thermodynamic consistency test is a way to verify the reliability
of the experimental data. The VLE data were tested by a Herington
area test and Van Ness point test. Then, the VLE data showed a good
correlation with nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) and Wilson activity coefficient
models.
The
isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) data for two
binary systems of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PMA) + N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and propylene
glycol methyl ether acetate (PMA) + methanol (MeOH) at 30.0, 50.0,
and 70.0 kPa were measured by utilizing a modified Rose–Williams
still type apparatus which could be able to quickly form the dual
cycle of continuous vapor and liquid phase in this work. On the basis
of Herington area test and Van Ness point test, the thermodynamic
consistency of the experiment data was verified. Meanwhile, VLE data
that we obtained were correlated with nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL)
and Margules activity coefficient models. The results demonstrated
that the calculated values were in good conformity with the experimental
data in this study. In addition, azeotropic behavior was observed
in the binary system of PMA and DMF at reduced pressures.
