The
isobaric binary vapor–liquid equilibrium data of ethanol
+ glycerol and 1-propanol + glycerol systems were collected experimentally
at two pressure levels of 16.0 and 101.3 kPa using modified Glass
Othmer-Still. Refractometer index Bausch and Lomb ABBE-type was used
to analyze the equilibrium samples of liquid and vapor phase compositions.
The reliability of the experimental data determined in this study
was conformed to the L–W thermodynamic
consistency test method proposed by Wisniak (Ind. Eng. Chem. Res.19933215311533). The data were regressed with the
Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC equations. The deviations of temperatures
and vapor phase compositions were given, and the results indicated
that the average absolute deviations in temperatures and in vapor
phase compositions were less than 0.5 and 1.1%, respectively, for
both systems studied. Furthermore, the performance of predictive UNIFAC
equation was found to be better at a pressure of 16 kPa than that
of 101.3 kPa.
