This work focuses on the measuring and modeling of phase equilibria
of interest for the hydroaminomethylation of 1-decene with syngas
(CO/H2) and diethylamine to N,N-diethylundecan-1-amine
and water in a solvent system of methanol and n-dodecane.
H2 solubilities were measured in undecanal and N,N-dimethyldodecan-1-amine at 343 and 363 K between 2 and
4 MPa via the isochoric saturation method. Vapor–Liquid equilibrium
data were measured for the binary systems methanol/N,N-diethylundecan-1-amine, 1-decene/diethylamine, and 1-decene/N,N-diethylundecan-1-amine at temperatures between 299 and
372 K and at pressures of 0.005, 0.018, 0.025, or 0.030 MPa. Liquid–Liquid
equilibria were measured in the ternary systems methanol/n-dodecane/diethylamine, methanol/n-dodecane/undecanal,
and methanol/n-dodecane/N,N-diethylundecan-1-amine
at 0.1 MPa and at temperatures ranging from 278.15 to 308.15 K. Measured
and available phase-equilibrium data from literature were modeled
using perturbed-chain polar statistical associating fluid theory.
This then allowed for modeling the Henry’s law constant for
H2 and CO in the liquid components (methanol, n-dodecane, 1-decene, diethylamine, undecanal, N,N-diethylundecan-1-amine, and water) at 373.15 and 393.15 K.
