Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium for methanol+benzene+1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate
Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for {methanol (1)+benzene (2)+1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (3)} where 3 is an ionic liquid ([OMIM]+[BF4]-) at atmospheric pressure (101.32 kPa) were measured with a modified Othmer still. The results showed that the ionic liquid studied can transfer the azeotropic point and eliminate the azeotropic phenomena when its concentration is up to x3=0.30. This means that [OMIM]+[BF4]- can be used as a promising entrainer in the application of extractive distillation. The measured ternary data were correlated using the NRTL model.
