Phase equilibria properties of binary and ternary systems containing di-isopropyl ether + isobutanol + benzene at 313.15 K

Isothermal vapour–liquid equilibrium data have been measured for the ternary system (di-isopropyl ether + isobutanol + benzene) and two of the binary systems involved (di-isopropyl ether + isobutanol) and (isobutanol + benzene) at 313.15 K. A static technique consisting of an isothermal total pressure cell was used for the measurements. Data reduction by Barkerʹs method provides correlations for GE using the Margules equation for the binary systems and the Wohl expansion for the ternary system. Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC models have been applied successfully to both the binary and the ternary systems.
