Residue curve maps are a powerful tool for the preliminary design of Reactive Distillation (RD). In this study, residue curve maps of the n-butyl acetate synthesis reaction were calculated based on the Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson kinetic and UNIQUAC models to calculate the physical properties of the system. The results showed that the unstable node branch emerged from the n-butyl ace...

Liquid-liquid equilibrium data were measured and analyzed for two ternary systems (biodiesel + methanol glycerol methyl palmitate glycerol). Biodiesel, produced by the conventional chemical route at 60 °C min, using soybean oil a molar rate of 10:1 potassium hydroxide concentration (KOH) 1 wt% exhibited thermal decomposition temperatures between 100 250 ºC, reaching mass loss approximately 98.8...

Abstract The stability of amino acids in solutions containing electrolytes and the effect ambient pH on their biological activity is an important research area. In this work, volumetric transport properties ionic liquid (IL) aqueous solution with special performance 1-(2-carboxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([HOOCEMIM][Cl]) were studied. selected IL acts as electrolyte allows study system...

A review of the relevant literature on 1-alkyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium-based ionic liquids has been presented. The phase diagrams for the binary systems of {1-ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) [EMPYR][CF(3)SO(3)] + water, or + 1-butanol} and for the binary systems of {1-propyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) [PMPYR][CF(3)SO(3)] + water, or...

A comprehensive mixed-solvent electrolyte model has been extended to calculate liquid– liquid equilibria in water–organic salt systems. Also, it has been applied to calculate phase equilibria and speciation in strongly associating systems such as sulfuric acid/oleum (H2SO4+SO3+H2O) in the entire concentration range. The model combines an excess Gibbs energy model with detailed speciation calcul...

Mutual diffusion coefficients of all 20 binary liquid mixtures that can be formed out of methanol, ethanol, acetone, benzene, cyclohexane, toluene, and carbon tetrachloride without a miscibility gap are studied at ambient conditions of temperature and pressure in the entire composition range. The considered mixtures show a varying mixing behavior from almost ideal to strongly non-ideal. Predict...

A novel approach for enclosing all homogeneous azeotropes in multicomponent mixtures is presented. The thermodynamic criteria for azeotropy are outlined, and mathematical equations for each criterion are developed. The global optimization approach is based on developing convex underestimators which are coupled with a branch and bound framework in which upper and lower bounds on the solution are...
