Liquid–liquid equilibrium data for binary alcohol + n-alkane (C10–C16) systems: methanol + decane, ethanol + tetradecane, and ethanol + hexadecane

Liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for three binary alcohol + n-alkane (C10–C16) 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.
