Vapor−liquid equilibria data for binary systems of ethylbenzene + xylene isomers at 100.65 kPa

Abstract

Vapor−liquid equilibria data for binary mixture of ethylbenzene + xylene isomers were obtained isobarically with a modified Fischer cell at 100.65 kPa. Temperatures were measured with a resolution of ±0.001 K, and vapor- and liquid-phase compositions were analyzed with a gas chromatograph. The data obtained were considered to be thermodynamically consistent according to the Van Ness and Fredenslund test. Pure vapor pressures for the compounds are also reported. Interaction parameters for the most used activity coefficient models and cubic equations were obtained through data fitting performed with Aspen Plus 10.1.
