Isothermal vaporliquid equilibria at 333.15 K, 343.15 K and 353.15 K for four binary mixtures of
hexane + heptane, heptane + octane, cyclohexane + octane and cyclohexane + nonane have been
obtained at pressures ranged from 0 to 101.3 kPa. The NRTL, UNIQUAC and Wilson activity coefcient
models have been employed to correlate experimental pressures and liquid mole fractions. The nonideal behavior of the vapor phase has been considered by using the SoaveRedlichKwong equation of
state in calculating the vapor mole fraction. Liquid and vapor densities were also measured by using two
vibrating tube densitometers. Phase behaviors of the Pxy diagrams indicate that three mixtures of
hexane + heptane, heptane + octane, cyclohexane + octane were close to the ideal solution. However, the
cyclohexane + nonane mixture presents a large positive deviation from the ideal solution. Only the
cyclohexane + octane mixture is negative in the excess Gibbs energy indicates that it is an exothermic
system.

1. Introduction
Vaporliquid equilibrium (VLE) data are essential for engineering design of separation processes and unit operations. It is
useful for an extension of a few thermodynamic models
commonly applied for designing petrochemical related processes. Such information can be obtained experimentally or
adopted from generalized methods to calculate properties of
multi-component mixtures. Most liquid systems of industrial
interest deviate from an ideal behavior. Usually, densities of
vapor and liquid phases are important to give a proper size in the
process design of many separation equipments. This study is
aimed to obtain binary vaporliquid equilibrium data of
aromatics and straight-chain solvents, and then to obtain binary
interactional parameters in liquid phase models by using a
gammaphi relationship in order to increase separation efciencies of these distillation towers.
A few commonly used liquid phase activity coefcient models
have been described with detailed (Raal and Muhlbauer, 1998).

2. Experimental
2.1. Chemicals
De-ionized water was prepared using a milli-Q purication
system and 99.99% nitrogen was obtained from Air Product Co.
(Taiwan). Both are used for calibration of pressure and temperature related constants for two densitometers. All the chemicals
were standard-grade reagents and purchased from a local supplier,
such as, hexane (SigmaAldrich, 399% pure), heptane (Sigma
Aldrich, 399% pure), octane (Alfa Aesar, 398% pure), cyclohexane
(SigmaAldrich, 399.9% pure) and nonane (Alfa Aesar, 399% pure)
used without further purication.
2.2. Apparatus and procedures
The apparatus used was described by Chang et al. (2005). The
system employed mainly consists of a vacuum pump, a vapor
liquid equilibrium cell equipped with a side-view glass window, a
data acquisition set, and two densitometers, shown in Fig. 1. Two
magnetic circulation pumps (Micropump, 1805R-346) were used
to speed up the achievement of the vaporliquid equilibrium
within 2 h, which is a mixed device of static and dynamic methods.
The equilibrium cell possesses a specic volume of approximately

3.2. Modelling
The experimental results were then used to obtain the binary
parameters by using the SoaveRedlichKwong equation of state
(SRK-EOS) combined with various activity coefcient models of
NRTL, UNIQUAC and Wilson. The expressions of the activity
coefcients models for the NRTL (Santiago et al., 2007), UNIQUAC
(Simoni et al., 2008) and Wilson (Huang and Lee, 1996) are listed in
the literature. The optimal interaction parameters for each binary
system were obtained by minimizing the following objective

The deviation between experimental and calculated equilibrium bubble pressures is reasonably small, and it is indicated that
these three activity coefcient models are suitable to represent the
binary experimental data. The calculated Pxy diagrams of four
binary systems are shown in Figs. 25, respectively. As expected,
nevertheless, there is little difference among three liquid activity

4. Conclusions
Vaporliquid equilibria of four binary mixtures of hexane,
heptane, octane, nonane and cyclohexane have successfully been
obtained at 333.15 K, 343.15 K and 353.15 K in this study.
Experimental data of phase densities, liquid mole fractions and
system pressures were determined using the bubble-point method
coupled with two vibration densitometers. Three activity coefcient models have been employed to correlate the experimental
data and the results are satisfactory. The calculated activity
coefcient and excess Gibbs energy values reveal that the
hexane + heptane, heptane + octane and cyclohexane + octane
systems were close to the ideal solution. However, the cyclohexane + octane system shows a high deviation from the ideal
solution. The associated binary interaction parameters between
each component for four mixtures were nally obtained from the
optimal correlation of our experimental data.
