The densities of mixtures of C3 alcohols with oct-1-ene
were measured in a temperature and pressure range of T = 303.15–353.15 K and P = 0.1–20
MPa by employing an Anton Paar DMA HP densimeter and a high-pressure
network. This data is of use in hydrocarbon process industries where
alcohols can be used as an additive, a blend stock, or an inhibitor.
The density data were correlated using the Toscani-Szwarc equation
of state with 5 unique model variables for each mixture/pure component.
The excess molar volume, thermal expansivity, and isothermal compressibility
were determined by calculation using the regressed correlation parameters.
A significant difference in the excess volume behavior was observed
between the two alcohols in the alkene, with the propan-2-ol mixture
exhibiting a more symmetrical positive excess volume behavior with
a magnitude greater than twice that of the propan-1-ol mixture at
similar conditions.
