Vapor-liquid equilibria of binary mixtures 2-butanol + butyl acetate, hexane + butyl acetate, and cyclohexane + 2-butanol at 101.3 kPa

Vapor-liquid equiliibria were measured at 101.3 kPa for three binary mixtures of 2-butanol + butyl acetate, hexane + butyl acetate, and cyclohexane + 2-butanol. The isobaric T-x-y data were reported, including an azeotropic point for the binary mixture of cyclohexane + 2-butanol. Calculations of the nonideality of the vapor phase were made with the second virial coefficients determined by the Tsonopoulos correlation equation. Various activity coefficient models were used to correlate the experimental data. Satisfactory results were obtained, and optimally fitted binary parameters are presented.
