Measurement and Correlation of Isobaric Vapor-Liquid Equilibria for Binary and Ternary Systems Containing Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE), Methanol and Alkanes
Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) of four binary systems--methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE)+
methanol, MTBE+heptane, MTBE+octane and MTBE+i-octane--were measured at atmospheric pressure by using Othmer-type circulation method. The VLE of a ternary system, MTBE+methanol+heptane, were also measured at atmospheric pressure. These VLE data were predicted by ASOG and correlated by Wilson equation, and the prediction and correlation performances were discussed.
