The
isobaric binary vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data
for the mixture of cumene and acetophenone were studied at 101.3,
30.0, and 10.0 kPa in a modified Rose equilibrium still. This system
exhibited no azeotropic behavior at the studied pressures. The consistency
of the VLE data was verified by both the Fredenslund test and Redlich–Kister
area test. Meanwhile, the experimental data were correlated by the
nonrandom two-liquid, universal quasichemical, and Wilson models.
The corresponding binary interaction parameters for the three models,
which could contribute to the simulation and design for the separation
process, were obtained using a maximum likelihood objective function.
All three models showed good agreement with the experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
