Introduction 1-pentanol and ternary mixture of 2-propanol + 1-butanol + 1- pentanol were obtained at 101.3 kPa. The experimental values were Currently the international oil price has been rising, and the correlated by the Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC equations, in which domestic oil resources are increasingly scarce. All these lead to a the binary parameters were obtained through the maximum like- trend about producing mixed alcohols by using coal. The C1–C8 lihood. The quality of the experimental binary values was verified mixed alcohols were produced at the same time by a new coal by the Herington method [5]. chemical synthesis technology in a set of device. This production has already begun to accelerate the domestic industrial process [1]. 2. Experimental Mixed alcohols can continue to conduct multi-fractionations and result in a series of single alcohol include methanol, ethanol, 2.1. Chemicals propanol, etc. But the vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data play an important role in the design and optimized operations of The physical properties of chemical reagents used are given distillation processes. So far many useful VLE data among the in Table 1. Methanol and 1-pentanol were supplied by Shanghai mixed alcohols have been presented. However, for 2-propanol + 1- Lingfeng Chemical Co. Ltd. 2-Propanol and 1-butanol were supplied pentanol system, there is only one report about VLE data in 313.15 K by Shanghai Shenbo Chemical Co. Ltd. Methanol and 2-propanol [2], and no report is in isobaric condition. To 1-butanol + 1-pentanol were used without further purification. 1-Butanol and 1-pentanol system, data in low pressure are available [3], but they may not were further purified by distillation in a column. All the reagents meet the requirement of design calculations. As for 2-propanol + 1- were dried on 0.4 nm molecular sieves and degassed by ultrasound butanol system, Wang et al. [4] determined temperature and before use. The purity of chemicals used was checked by the gas liquid phase mole fraction in 101.3 kPa without giving vapor- chromatography equipped with a thermal conductivity detector phase mole fraction. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the VLE and a stainless steel column. The refractive indices and normal boil- data for 2-propanol + 1-butanol, 2-propanol + 1-pentanol, and 1- ing points were measured by the WYA Abbe refractometer and the butanol + 1-pentanol at atmospheric pressure condition. improved Rose still, respectively. In this paper, isobaric VLE results for binary mixture of 2-propanol + 1-butanol, 2-propanol + 1-pentanol and 1-butanol + 2.2.
