Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for three binary alcohol + n-alkane (C-10-C-16) systems-methanol + decane, ethanol + tetradecane, and ethanol + hexadecane-were measured using a laser scattering technique. The experimentally determined cloud points were satisfactorily correlated by three local composition models (NRTL, Tsuboka-Katayama's modification of the Wilson equation, and the modified complete local composition model suggested by Nagata and Tamura). Prediction of vapor-liquid equilibria by means of these models with parameters obtained from the LLE data was also tested. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
