Experimental and predicted vapor–liquid equilibrium for binary systems with diethanolamine, m-cresol and p-cresol at 20.0 kPa
Introduction
M-cresol (MC) and P-cresol (PC) are very important organic materials. MC can be used to synthetize spices, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products et al. [1]. Furthermore, p-Cresol is mainly adopted in disinfectants and fumigants, in the production of explosives, antioxidants and synthetic resins, et al. [2]. MC and PC are presenting in coal tar and products of chemical synthesis. However, separating these two compounds is difficult because the molecular structure difference and the boiling temperature deference of the two materials are extremely small. At present, the commonly separation methods include crystallization [3], adsorption [4], alkylation reaction [5], et al. Ningoo [6] had proposed the use of extractive distillation with using alkanolamine as entrainer to separate PC and MC, however, Zaretskii et al. [7] believed that this method required more experimental data to verify; At the same time, alkanolamine and cresols are very complex systems. Supplementing the relevant VLE data of the system can provide basic data for the verification and development of new solution theory.
In our work, the VLE data for two binary systems of MC + DEA and PC + DEA at 20.0 kPa were determined by a modified Othmer Still. The thermodynamic consistency of binary VLE data was examined by using Herington area [8] method. Meanwhile, the binary VLE data were correlated using the Wilson [9], NRTL [10], and UNIQUAC [11] models. The VLE data for the two binary systems at 8.33 kPa were predicted by NRTL model, and the results were compared with literature’s data [6]. The excess Gibbs free energy gE for these two binary systems were calculated. In addition, the chemistry theory [12] was used to explain the VLE behavior. The reaction equilibrium constants were obtained by fitting the activity coefficient data of the two binary systems. Then, the reaction thermodynamic parameters were predicted.

Materials and analysis method
In our experimental work, the chemicals of MC, PC and DEA were used to perform the measurement. The MC (≥99.0% wt) was supplied by Sinopharm Chemical Regent Co. Ltd., and the PC (≥99.0% wt) and DEA (≥99.0% wt) were purchased from Aladdin Regent Co. Ltd.. No further purification was conducted for these reagents. Table 1 showed the initial mass fractions and some relevant detailed information on those chemicals.
In addition, the measurement of the normal boiling point, boiling point at 20.0 kPa
Experimental results for binary systems
VLE data contained two binary systems, namely, MC and DEA, and PC and DEA. Fig. 3, Fig. 4 show the measured VLE data of these systems, and the values are listed in Table 3, Table 4. The vapour-liquid equilibrium can be calculated by the following expression [6], [13],where the pis can be calculated by Eq. (3),where A, B C, E, F, G are the equation parameters. Table 5 shows the equation parameters [40] of these chemicals.
We used Eqs. (2), (3) to
Conclusions
In this work, the binary VLE data for two binary systems of MC + DEA and PC + DEA were measured at 20.0 kPa. The VLE values of two binary systems passed the thermodynamic consistency. In the two systems, the excess Gibbs free energy suggested the interaction between PC and DEA was slightly stronger than that of MC and DEA. The Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC models were used to correlate the binary VLE data, and we obtained the binary interaction energy parameters involved in these models.

Ionic liquids (ILs), as a new green solvent, are widely used in extractive distillation [2–8]. Dong et al.

Isobaric vapour-liquid equilibrium for systems of methyl chloroacetate, methyl dichloroacetate and methyl 2-chloropropionate at 101.33 kPa
2022, Journal of Molecular LiquidsCitation Excerpt :A modified Othmer still was used to measure the VLE of systems consisting of MC + M2C, MC + MDC, and M2C + MDC. The reliability of this method was verified in our preliminary work [17–19]. System temperature was measured by using a high-precision mercury thermometer with uncertainty of ± 0.05 K. Considering that the boiling point difference of the experimental system was small, we used a 10 × magnifying glass to assist in reading the temperature data on the mercury thermometer.
Solute-solvent interactions of binary liquid mixtures containing Phenetole with isomeric cresols through physicochemical properties and ATR-FT IR spectral studies
2020, Chemical Data CollectionsCitation Excerpt :Isomeric cresols are precursors, or synthetic intermediates to the compounds, materials like pesticides, plastics, pharmaceuticals and dyes [12] and most recently cresols have been used to create a breakthrough in manufacturing carbon nanotubes and without additional chemicals, this change the surface properties of nano tubes. Thermodynamic properties of binary liquid mixtures containing cresols with different organic solvents were reported [13,14] but to the best of our knowledge, density and speed of sound values on binary liquid mixtures of Phenetole with isomeric cresols are not reported in the literature. The present investigation mainly focused on strength of molecular interaction between binary liquid mixtures on sign and magnitude of the excess thermodynamic properties by changing its position like ortho, meta, para in toluene with Phenetole.
