Data
from isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) for the
binary systems methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and n-propyl acetate with 1-propanol have been determined at 0.6 MPa employing
a metal ebulliometer with recirculation of both phases. The thermodynamic
consistency of experimental data has been verified with the Van Ness
point-to-point test, using the routine in Fortran proposed by Fredenslund
et al. The azeotropic point was observed for the binary systems ethyl
acetate/1-propanol and propyl acetate/1-propanol. The activity coefficients
of the liquid phase were calculated by considering the nonideality
of the vapor phase. The binary systems studied show positive deviation
from ideal behavior. Predictions obtained from the group contribution
models ASOG and different versions of UNIFAC were verified by comparing
the values provided by the models with experimental data of VLE.
